A series of tetrahydrobenzo [c]acridinone derivatives have been prepared by a one-pot fourcomponent reaction of 1-naphthol, aromatic aldehydes, dimedone, and ammonium acetate in aqueous media using a catalytic amount of titanium dioxide nanoparticles (TiO 2 NPs). The advantages of this novel protocol include the excellent yields, operational simplicity, short reaction time, easy work-up, reusability of the catalyst and an environmentally friendly procedure.
