“…[13] Besides, the acridine motif has been widely used in chemosensors, dyes, fluorescent probes and as ligands in metal-promoted catalysis. [14] The most straightforward synthesis of 1,8-dioxodecahydroacridines involve the three-component condensation of dimedone, aldehydes, and different anilines or ammonium acetate using different catalysts such as Silica-Bonded S-Sulfonic Acid, [15] FeCl 3 -SiO 2 , [16] Acidic Ionic Liquids, [17] Zn-(OAC) 2 .2H 2 O, [18] Amberlyst-15, [19] Brønsted acidic imidazolium salts, [20] Cellulose-HClO 4 , [21] p-dodecylbenezenesulfonic acid, [22] Ceric ammonium nitrate (CAN), [23] β-Cyclodextrin Monosulphonic Acid [24] and Proline. [25] Although these methods are effective, some of them suffer from one or more drawbacks such as long reaction times, use of large quantities of hazardous solvents, nonrecyclable catalysts, excessive use of reagents, unsatisfactory yields, and tedious conditions.…”
