Synthesis of novel fused heterocycle-oxa-aza-phenanthrene and anthracene derivatives via sequential one-pot synthesis in aqueous micellar system

Abstract

Oxa-aza-phenanthrene and anthracene derivatives which contain a bridgehead nitrogen are synthesized in an aqueous micellar system. The synthetic route is easy and yield is excellent. In this proposed method, solvent, base and surfactant are optimized and the best result was obtained by DBU in water with surfactant CTAB. All synthesized molecules are new. This method is an efficient, viable and sequential one pot synthetic route for the construction of desired product.
