Nitrogen-containing polyaromatic compounds have been prepared in one step by combining
diols and anthracenyl or naphthyl amines via acceptorless dehydrogenative condensation
with ZnO and Pt/Al2O3 as heterogeneous catalysts.
Key words
acceptorless dehydrogenative condensation - amines - diols - heterocycles - heterogeneous
catalysis - polyaromatics
