Microwave assisted solvent and catalyst free method for novel classes of β-enaminoester and acridinedione synthesis

Abstract

Novel classes of β-enaminoesters were synthesized using our newly described ethyl-3-(2,4-dioxocyclohexyl)propanoate molecule (1) under solvent and catalyst free microwave assisted conditions. No work-up procedure, milder reaction conditions, wide substrate scope and high yields add extra importance to this method and open up the scope for acridinediones as well as peptidomimetic molecule synthesis.
