A highly efficient green synthesis of 1, 8-dioxo-octahydroxanthenes

<p>Abstract</p> <p>SmCl<sub>3 </sub>(20 mol%) has been used as an efficient catalyst for reaction between aromatic aldehydes and 5,5-dimethyl-1,3-cyclohexanedione at 120°C to give 1,8-dioxo-octahydroxanthene derivatives in high yield. The same reaction in water, at room...
