Abstract

In this study, an unprecedented approach to the xanthone scaffold from cyclohexyl(2-hydroxyphenyl)methanone via dehydrogenative cyclization and a successive aromatization cascade is reported. This methodology affords a novel route to the privileged structure with a wide substrate scope (a total of 29 compounds, ≤96% yield) in a highly atom-economic manner.
