Abstract

A convenient and one-pot method for the efficient synthesis of the novel 8,9-dihydro-8,8-dimethyl-5,10-diphenylpyrimido[4,5-b]quinoline-2,4,6(1H,3H,5H,7H,10H)-trione derivatives via a four-component condensation reaction of aldehydes, amines, dimedone, and barbituric acid in the presence of tungestophosphoric acid (H3PW12O40) as catalyst is described. This new approach proceeded smoothly in good to excellent yields and the pure products are separated from the reaction mixture by simple filtration.
