A new rapid and efficient method for the synthesis of a series of alkylated phloroglucinols using conventional microwave is reported 4 phloroglucinol derivatives (4, 5, 6 and 7) were synthesized with good yields (~50%) by a Friedel-Crafts reaction through an Electrophilic Aromatic Substitution mechanism between geraniol/prenol and phloroglucinol, using reusable SiO 2 and AgNO 3 as the best catalyst tested without solvents under microwave irradiation.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
