Abstract Reactions of cyclohexane-1, 3-diones with amines and aldehydes led to the formation of 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10-decahydroacridine-1, 8-diones containing alkylaryl, aryl, and hydroxy substituents in position 10. Transformations of 10-hydroxy-1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10-decahydroacridine-1, 8-diones under oxidation with nitrous acid, reduction with zinc powder, as well as on heating in aprotic solvents and acetic, phosphoric, and ...
