Microwave-assisted synthesis of phenanthro[9, 10-d]imidazole derivatives under solvent-free and one pot conditions

Abstract

<span>Phenanthro[9, 10-d]imidazole derivatives were synthesized with the combinations of phenanthroquinone and benzealdehyde derivatives in the presence of ammonium acetate. The microwave-assisted protocol was investigated under solvent-free condition for 2 min (400 w). The structure of all products was studied by IR and ¹HNMR Spectroscopy. Excellent yields, short reaction times, simplicity of operation and easy separation are the advantages of this technique.</span>
