1,3,5-Trichloro-2,4,6-Triazinetrion: A Versatile Heterocycle for the One-Pot Synthesis of 14-Aryl- or Alkyl -14H-Dibenzo[a,j]xanthene, 1,8-Dioxooctahydroxanthene and 12-Aryl-8,9,10,12-Tetrahydrobenzo[a]xanthene-11-one Derivatives under Solvent-Free Conditions

摘要

A facile, green, efficient and environment-friendly protocol for the synthesis of 14-aryl- or alkyl-14Hdibenzo[ a,j]xanthene, 1,8-dioxooctahydroxanthene and 12-aryl-8,9,10,12-tetrahydrobenzo[a]xanthene-11-one have been developed by one-pot condensation of various aldehydes with (i) β-naphthol (ii) cyclic 1,3- dicarbonyl compounds and (iii) β-naphthol and cyclic 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds, in the presence of 1,3,5- trichloro-2,4,6-triazinetrion (trichloroisocyanuric acid, TCCA) as catalyst under solvent-free conditions. The present approach offers the advantages of clean reaction, simple methodology, short reaction time, easy purification, and economic availability of the catalyst.
