ported material with Bronsted acid properties. The MCM-41
was synthesized according to the previously described method
using cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTMABr), as the tem-
plating agent [13]. The surfactant template was then removed
from the synthesized material by calcination at 540ꢁC for 6 h.
MCM-41 was modified using a 100-mL suction flask
equipped with a constant-pressure dropping funnel containing
chlorosulfonic acid (81.13 g and 0.7 mol) and a gas inlet tube
for conducting HCl gas over an adsorbing solution. Then, 60.0
g of MCM-41 was charged into it and chlorosulfonic acid was
added dropwise over a period of 30 min at room temperature.
HCl gas evolved from the reaction vessel immediately. After
completion of addition, the mixture was shaken for 30 min,
and the white solid (MCM-41-SO3H) was obtained (115.9 g).
General procedure for the synthesis of 1,8-dioxo-9-aryl
decahydroacridines. A mixture of aldehyde (1 mmol), dime-
done (2 mmol), ammonium acetate (3 mmol), MCM-41-SO3H
(0.005 g) were mixed and heated in a paraffin bath at 110ꢁC
for different periods of time (Table 4). After completion of the
reaction (monitored by TLC; petroleum ether and EtOAc, 1:2),
excess ammonium acetate was washed away by water. Subse-
quently, products were crystallized from ethanol.
