Popis: A wide array of synthetic methods are described in the literature for the preparation of xanthones—a prominent class of tricyclic molecules that occur widely in nature. Majority of these reported methods involve linking the two aromatic rings and forming the central pyrone ring using a variety of classical and non-classical cyclization strategies. In a conceptually different approach, we describe here a new xanthone synthesis wherein both the pyrone and the second aromatic rings were forged in a single step by an intramolecular cycloaddition reaction involving 2-(1,2-dichlorovinyloxy) aryldienones.
