The reaction of o-(trimethylsilyl)aryl triflates, CsF, and o-hydroxychalcones affords a general and efficient way to prepare biologically interesting 9-substituted xanthenes. This chemistry presumably proceeds by tandem intermolecular nucleophilic attack of the phenoxide of the chalcone on the aryne and subsequent intramolecular Michael addition. The introduction of an external base, Cs(2)CO(3), has proven beneficial in this reaction.

A diverse range of 9-substituted 1,8-dioxohexahydroxanthenes was conceptualized and synthesized through a TFA-mediated approach in near quantitative yields without the use of column chromatography. From a series of 25 compounds, we found that compounds 14c and 14r exhibited promising anti-tuberculosis potential against avirulent and virulent strains of with a Minimal Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) of 8 μg ml, achieving 99% bactericidal activity at the same concentration. This series of compounds was found to be inactive against common Gram-positive and Gram-negative pathogens, indicating that the activity is mycobacteria-specific.

A general and efficient one-pot cascade/tandem approach to synthesize unsymmetrical 9-aryl/heteroaryl xanthenes has been developed under extremely mild reaction conditions using 10 mol% Sc(OTf)(3) as a catalyst. This strategy has been further extended to synthesize 9-(thioaryl) xanthenes through tandem carbon-sulfur (C-S) and carbon-carbon (C-C) bond formation. Novel C-C and C-S bond cleavage promoted by Sc(OTf)(3) is also discussed during mechanistic investigation.

An efficient iron-catalyzed, microwave-promoted cascade benzylation-cyclization of phenols is reported. Benzyl acetates, benzyl bromides, and benzyl carbonates are suitable benzylating reagents. The reactions proceed to afford both 9-aryl and 9-alkyl xanthene derivatives in good to high yields using FeCl(3) as the catalyst under MW irradiation conditions.

An efficient tandem aldol condensation/Michael addition process of unactivated aldehydes and 1,3-cyclohexanedione is described. This transformation proceeds without any catalyst at room temperature with high isolated yields. By a fine-tuning of reaction conditions an access to both the aldol condensation/Michael addition products or to the dehydrated cyclized 9-substituted 1,8-dioxo-xanthenes is given.
