“…The 2,4,6,8-tetrakis(2-fluorophenyl)-3,7-diazabicyclo[3.3.1] nonan-9-one was synthesized by successive Mannich condensations in one-pot, using 2-fluorobenzaldehyde (0.2 mol, 21 ml), acetone (0.05 mol, 3.7 ml) and ammonium acetate (0.1 mol, 7.7 g) in a 50 ml of absolute ethanol (Parthiban et al, 2008). The mixture was gently warmed on a hot plate at 303 K (30° C) with moderate stirring till the complete consumption of the starting materials, which was monitored by TLC.…”
