Zinc chloride catalyzed collective synthesis of arylmethylene bis(3-hydroxy-2-cyclohexene-1-ones) and 1,8-dioxo-octahydroxanthene/acridine derivatives
Ganesan, Subramaniapillai Selva Kothandapani, Jagatheeswaran Ganesan, Asaithampi
Catalytic amount of ZnCl2 efficiently promoted rapid synthesis of arylmethylene bis(3-hydroxy-2-cyclohexene-1-one) in water at room temperature in excellent yield. At elevated temperature, ZnCl2 also catalyzed one-pot synthesis of 1,8-dioxo-octahydroxanthene and 1,8-dioxo-decahydroacridine derivatives in good yield. In specific instances, unusual dissociation of dimedone from the arylmethylene bis(3-hydroxy-2-cyclohexene-1-one) was identified in the reaction medium. It was minimized/avoided by the addition of known excess dimedone to the reaction mixture in the one-pot synthesis of 1,8-dioxo-octahydroxanthene.
Cyclocondensation of 2-aminobenzimidazole with dimedone and its arylidene derivatives
Lipson Desenko Shishkina Shirobokova Shishkin Orlov
The reactions of 2-aminobenzimidazole with substituted benzaldehydes and dimedone, 2-arylidene derivatives of dimedone, 9-arylhexahydro-1H-xanthene-1,8(2H)-diones and also with dimedone and DMF have been studied. The direction of formation of the pyrimidine ring has been established and discussed. An X-ray structural investigation of 2,2-dimethyl-2,3-dihydrobenzimidazo[1,2-a]quinazolin-4(1H)-one has has been carried out.
