Greener synthesis of Pyrroloacridine-1(2H)-one and 1,8-Dioxodecahydroacridine derivatives: Ascorbic acid mediated OrganocatalyticApproach

Abstract

A simple, one-pot multi component synthetic route employing ascorbic acid is reported for synthesising pyrrolo[2,3,4-kl]acridin and 1,8-dioxodecahydroacridine derivatives under solvent free condition. This method offers advantages such as moderate conditions, ease of operation, environmental friendliness, and organocatalyst. The suggested technique features green reaction conditions, a broad substrate scope, operational simplicity, an eco-efficient catalyst, the production of CN bonds, and excellent product yields.
