摘要
A simple, efficient and green method for the synthesis of 14-aryl-14H-dibenzo[aj]xanthenes by a one-pot condensation reaction of β-naphthol and aryl aldehydes using silica gel-supported polyphosphoric acid （PPA/SiO2）, an effective and reusable catalyst, under solvent-free conditions is described. The present methodology offers several advantages, such as a simple procedure with an easy work-up, short reaction times, high yields, and the absence of any volatile and hazardous organic solvents.
