Mild acidic charcoal: adsorption, analysis, and application.

The adsorption of glacial acetic acid over a charcoal support was investigated. The amount of adsorption was analyzed using a traditional titration method and the prepared adsorbed system was employed as a heterogeneous catalyst for organic reactions as a viable application. Different 14-aryl-14-dibenzo[a,j]xanthenes were synthesized using mild acidic charcoal as a catalyst and yields of 88%-94% were obtained.
