An efficient and environmentally benign one-pot condensation of cyclic diketones, aldehydes naphthols was achieved with 1,4-diazabicyclo[2-2-2]octane supported on Amberlyst-15 as a novel catalyst, producing variety benzoxanthenones in good to excellent yields. The advantages this multicomponent reaction include the use heterogeneous solventless conditions simple methodology that is atom-economi...

We present a computational study on the electrical bistability behavior of four xanthene derivatives based on sodium fluorescein. Intra- and intermolecular charge transfer parameters are computed and employed to rationalize the efficiencies experimentally determined for resistive memory devices based on these organic materials. Charge injection at the electrode/organic interface in the presence...

1,3-Dibromo-5,5-dimethylhydantoin (DBH), as a cheap and commercially available reagent, is efficiently able to catalyze the synthesis of polyhydroquinoline derivatives and 12-aryl-8,9,10,12-tetrahydro[a] xanthene-11-ones via one-pot multi-component reactions. This novel synthetic method has the advantages of low cost and availability of the catalyst, short reaction times, high to excellent yiel...

The title compound, C(35)H(36)N(4)O(4), was prepared as a spiro-lactam ring formation of rhodamine B dye for comparison with a ring-opened form. The xanthene ring system is approximately planar. The r.m.s. deviation from planarity is 0.064 (6) Å for the xanthene ring. The dihedral angles formed by the spiro-lactam and 2,4-dihydroxy-benzene rings with the xanthene ring system are 86.6 (9) and 88...

The title compound, C(36)H(36)N(4)O(4), was prepared as a spiro-lactam ring formation of the rhodamine dye for comparison with a ring-opened form. The xanthene ring system is approximately planar [r.m.s. deviations from planarity = 0.023 (9) Å for the xanthene ring]. The dihedral angles formed by the spiro-lactam and 1,3-benzodioxole rings with the xanthene ring system are 86.8 (1) and 74.3 (1)...

cellulose bonded n-propyl diethylene tetra sulfamic acid (cbpdetsa) was successfully applied as a green and recyclable acidic catalyst for the synthesis of tetrahydrobenzo [a] xanthene-11-one as an important class of potentially bioactive compounds. the products are obtained by the coupling of 2-naphtol , cyclohexadione and aldehyde derivatives in good to high yields (70- 92%) under solvent-fre...

Following previous studies on anthraquinone and acridine-based G-quadruplex ligands, here we present a study of similar aromatic cores, with the specific aim of increasing G-quadruplex binding and selectivity with respect to duplex DNA. Synthesized compounds include two and three-side chain xanthone and xanthene derivatives, as well as a dimeric "bridged" form. ESI and FRET measurements suggest...
