An efficient ultrasound-promoted method for the one-pot synthesis of 7,10,11,12-tetrahydrobenzo[c]acridin-8(9H)-one derivatives

A new, efficient and general method for preparation of 7,10,11,12-tetrahydrobenzo[c]acridin-8(9H)-one derivatives using ultrasound irradiation is reported. Under ultrasound, the reaction time is short, the yields are high and the reaction conditions are mild.
