A rapid and efficient method for synthesis of new 3-arylideneisobenzofuran-1(3H)-one derivatives catalyzed by acetic anhydride under solvent-free and microwave conditions
In this study we have described the synthesis of new 3-arylidene isobenzofuran-1(3H)-one derivatives. Condensation reaction of phthalic anhydride and quinoline derivatives under solvent-free condition and microwave irradiation in the presence of acetic anhydride as catalyst in good excellent yield is reported.
