One‐pot synthesis of novel N‐cyclopropyldecahydroacridine‐1,8‐dione derivatives under microwave irradiation

A series of new N‐cyclopropyldecahydroacridine‐1,8‐dione derivatives were synthesized by one‐pot reaction of aromatic aldehyde, dimedone (or 1,3‐cyclohexanedione) and cyclopropanamine in solution of glycol and water under microwave irradiation with excellent yields (78‐94%) and short reaction time (5‐10 min).
