title: Facile, economical and direct synthesis of 9-anilinoacridines.
abstract: Acridines are well-known group of compounds with a wide variety of biological properties. We describe herein an expeditious approach to prepare anilinoacridine derivatives from mefenamic acid. It is the first report of a one-pot approach to anilinoacridines in good to excellent yields.
