“…[94][95][96] Another efficient protocol was developed for the synthesis of 2,3-dihydro-1Hxanthen-1-one derivatives (61) via the cycloaddition of 1,3-cyclohexanediones (37b or 37b′) and salicylaldehyde (44) using glycine as promoter in [bmim]PF 6 at 25 °C (Scheme 23). 98 Conventional solvents, such as acetonitrile, DMF, DMSO, etc., were also screened for this reaction but lower yields were attained. Under the optimized conditions, other amino acids, such as L-histidine, L-lysine, L-alanine, as catalyst produced lower yields.…”
