A heteroditopic macrocycle as organocatalytic nanoreactor for pyrroloacridinone synthesis in water

Abstract

A heteroditopic macrocycle is reported as an efficient organocatalytic nanoreactor for the synthesis of diversely functionalized pyrroloacridinones in aqueous medium. A library of compounds was synthesized in a one-step pathway utilizing 10 mol % of the nanoreactor following a sustainable methodology in water with high yields.
