Abstract

• The present work highlights the synthesis of 4-fluoroacridone by intramolecular condensation of 2’-fluorodiphenylamine-2-carboxylic acidunder sonochemical activation. The kinetic parameters of reaction synthesis were determined by TLC video densitometry. In the synthesis, the effect of sonochemical activation on reaction rate and kinetic parameters such as time, temperatures, rate constants and activation energies were studied. The experimental results of traditional condition and sonochemical activation revealed the different kinetic parameters. The results indicated that activation energy of reaction decreased and the reaction rate greatly enhanced in sonochemical activation.
