Abstract
Effective and “green” synthesis of tetraketone derivatives was elaborated. The last compounds developed prominent bactericide activity against both MIC and MBC S. aureus (ATCC-6538P) bacteria. The novelty of this approach is concluded in the application of Al(OH)3 catalyst for the Knoevenagel-Michael cascade reaction of aromatic aldehydes and 1,3-cyclic diketones in water. The process is chemoselective and affords high yield of tetraketones under benign conditions. The catalyst maintained 80% of initial activity within four cycles. The proposed method can be regarded as an alternative to the existing syntheses of biologically active tetraketones that utilize homogeneous and expensive heterogeneous catalysts.
