One Pot Synthesis of Acridinylalkanoic Acids and Novel Bisacridines

Abstract

The condensation reaction of diphenylamine with aliphatic dicarboxylic acids in presence of anhydrous zinc chloride gives rise to ω-(acridin-9-y1)alkan-α-oic acids and α,ω-bis(acridin-9-yl)alkanes, in moderate to high yields, under defined experimental conditions.
