Brønsted acidic imidazolium salts containing perfluoroalkyl tails catalyzed one-pot synthesis of 1,8-dioxo-decahydroacridines in water

One-pot three-component synthesis of 1,8-dioxo-9,10-diaryl-decahydroacridines in water was efficiently realized in the presence of the Brønsted acidic imidazolium salts containing perfluoroalkyl tails in good yields. The method provided several advantages such as low catalyst loading; recycle of the catalyst and simple work procedure.
