Abstract
Abstract A mild and efficient protocol for the synthesis of 7,8-dihydro-10-aryl-5 H -indeno[1,2- b ]quinoline-9,11-diones via a one-pot four component condensation of aromatic aldehydes, dimedone, 1,3-indandione and ammonium acetate using melamine trisulfonic acid as a catalyst in ethanol is described. The catalyst could be recycled and reused three times without significant loss of activity. Dihydro-5 H -indeno[1,2- b ]quinolines with stabilized zwitterionic resonance structures showed feasible application as new pH indicators. These chemosensors have a large wavelength shift (100 nm) and showed excellent sensitivity in the range of pH from 9.2 to 12.
