  • Description: (?)-Camphor-10-sulfonic acid (CSA) catalyzed condensation of 2-naphthol with both aliphatic/aromatic aldehydes at 80?C yielded 14-alkyl/aryl-dibenzoxanthenes as the sole product in high yields. However, the same condensation with benzaldehyde at 25?C afforded a mixture of intermediate 1,1-bis-(2-hydroxynaphthyl)phenylmethane and 14-phenyl-dibenzoxanthene while the condensation with aliphatic aldehydes at 25?C furnished the corresponding 14-alkyl-dibenzoxanthenes as the sole product. Moreover, condensation of 2-naphthol with aromatic/aliphatic aldehydes with low catalyst loading (2 mol%) was greatly accelerated under microwave irradiation to afford the corresponding 14-aryl/alkyl-dibenzoxanthenes as the sole product in high yields.
