Xanthenes and
benzoxanthenes are an important class of biologically active compounds in the
field of drugs and pharmaceuticals, which possess antiviral, anti-inflammatory,
anticancer, and antibacterial activities1. In addition, these
heterocyclic molecules have been widely used as dyes, pH-sensitive fluorescent
materials for the visualization of biomolecules2.
One-pot
multi-component reaction strategies offer significant advantages over
two-component and stepwise reactions in several aspects by virtue of their
convergence, productivity, high atom economy, facile execution1.
Metal triflates, M(OTf)x
are stable in
aqueous media and can act as Lewis acid catalysts in several carbon-carbon bond
forming reactions3.
3,4-dihydro-12-aryl-2H-benzo[b]xanthene-1,6,11(12H)-trione
compounds have been obtained through one-pot condensation of various
substituted aromatic aldehydes, 2-hydroxy-1,4-naphthoquinone, and dimedone in
the presence of Bi(OTf)3 as a green and reusable catalyst.
