ABSTRACT

A new and efficient method to synthesize a 3,3,6,6,9-aryl-1,8-dioxo-octahydroxanthene derivative using alum as catalyst was performed in aqueous media. This method has several advantages such as environmental friendliness, high yields and simple workup procedure.

Keywords: Alum, aqueous media, 3,3,6,6,9-aryl-1,8-dioxo-octahydroxanthene, condensation reaction
