Abstract
: The aim of this work is the synthesis of new 10-hydroxydecahydroacridine-1,8-dione derivative, determination of the structure and to study the possibility of using this compound as an indicator of acid-base titration. Environmentally friendly synthesis of 10-hydroxy-3,3,6,6-tetramethyl-9-(4-hydroxy-3-methoxyphe-nyl)-1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10-decahydroacridin-1,8-dion has been developed by one pot interaction of dimedone, hydroxylamine and 4-hydroxy-3-methoxybenzoic aldehyde in water-alcohol or water solution using citric acid or sodium dodecyl sulfate as catalysts, respectively. Purification of the synthesized compound was carried out by crystallization from ethanol. The obtained compound was characterised by 1 H NMR , 13 C NMR and UV-Vis spectroscopies. This substance in water-alcohol solution shows intense violet light absorption. Addition alkali induces red shift of absorption maximum to the blue region. UV irradiation of solution of this substance in alcohol induces two-band fluorescence in the visible region. One band disappears upon addition of a base in solution. The structure of the obtained compound was confirmed by high resolution mass-spectrometry analysis. In the mass-spectrum of 10-hydroxy-3,3,6,6-tetramethyl-9-(4-hydroxy-3-methoxyphe-nyl)-1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10-decahydroacridin-1,8-dion observed [M+1] + ion peak. The base peak corresponds to tricyclic fragment due to the elimination aromatic cycle from molecular ion. This substance is colorless in acidic and neutral and pink in base solutions. The acid dissociation constant of this compound in a water-alcohol solution was determined by the UV-Vis spectroscopic technique. It was shown that the obtained compound can be used as an indicator for the titration of strong acids and bases.
