MCM-41-SO3H as a nanoreactor for the one-pot, solvent-free synthesis of 1,8-dioxo-9-aryl decahydroacridines

One-pot four-component synthesis of 1,8-dioxo-9-aryl decahydroacridines in solvent-free condition was efficiently performed in the presence of MCM-41-SO3H as a nanocatalyst and nanoreactor in good yields. The method provides several advantages such as low cost, operational and experimental simplicity, high yields, and short reaction times. J. Heterocyclic Chem., (2012).
