We demonstrate a superficial method for the synthesis of N-substituted 1,8-dioxo-decahydroacridines using β-cyclodextrin as a supramolecular, biodegradable, and reusable catalyst in aqueous medium. The reaction product is in excellent yield with moderate to excellent selectivity. The mechanistic transformation presumably proceeds via a one-pot, multicomponent cyclization of dimedone in the presence of aromatic aldehydes and aromatic amines/INH, undergoing a tandem Michael addition reaction. The proposed approach in this study provides a highly efficient and environmentally benign route to N-substituted 1,8-dioxo-decahydroacridines. |
