Abstract

Abstract An efficient and simple procedure for the synthesis of 12-aryl-or 12-alkyl-8, 9, 10, 12- tetrahydrobenzo [a] xanthen-11-one derivatives has been described. This one-pot multicomponent reaction involves the reaction of aldehydes, 2-naphthol, and cyclic 1, 3- diketones in the presence of catalytic amount of recyclable TBAF in water.
