A green and efficient method for the synthesis of octahydroacridine (OHA) has been developed by a simple one-pot hetero-Diels-Alder reaction starting from (+)-citronellal and N-arylamines in the presence of a solid supported catalyst (SiO2/ZnCl2), under MW irradiation and without any solvent. The method was used in the direct preparation of OHA from citronella oil in good yield. (C) 2003 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
