Raw halloysite catalyzed an efficient one-pot three-component synthesis of 9-aryl-hexahydroacridine-1,8-diones
摘要
Green chemistry promotes sustainable practices to minimize environmental impact, where heterogeneous catalysis serves as a key strategy for enhancing efficiency and eco-friendliness in chemical processes. Halloysite, a natural clay mineral with a tubular, hollow structure, large surface area and tunable surface chemistry has emerged as a sustainable, recyclable and highly efficient heterogeneous catalyst for the multicomponent reaction between dimedone, aromatic aldehydes, and a nitrogen source, specifically ammonium acetate in greener solvent leading to the efficient production of 1,8-dioxodecahydroacridines in good to excellent yields. The proposed method provides a straightforward procedure, featuring a simple setup, easy work-up, reduced reaction times, high product yields and no hazardous solvents, aligning with green chemistry principles of reducing waste and using safer materials.
