Abstract: A series of 4-aryl-7,7-dimethyl-2, 5-dioxo-1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8-octahydroquinoline (4) and 4-aryl-7,7-dimethyl-5-oxo-3,4,5,6,7,8-hexahydrocoumarin (5) were synthesized from aromatic aldehydes (1), 5,5-dimethyl-1,3-cyclohexandione (2) and isopropylidene malonate (3) by the condensation, addition, cyclization and elimination reactions under microwave irradiation under different conditions. The reactions were completed in 3-5 min with good yields. The structure of the products were established on IR, 1H NMR, elemental analysis and X-ray diffraction.
