A convenient, efficient and practical procedure for the synthesis of 1-amidoalkyl 2-naphthols is described by condensation of aromatic aldehydes with amides and 2-naphthol in the presence of P2O5/SiO2 as an efficient catalyst. Moreover, in the present of this catalyst, the synthesis of 14-aryl or alkyl-14H-dibenzo[a,j]xanthenes is studied by co...

BACKGROUND Cellulite is a 'cottage cheese-like' cutaneous change caused by subcutaneous fat bulging into the dermis that usually leads to cosmetic problems. Slimming cream containing 3.5% water-soluble caffeine and xanthenes exhibits a lipolytic effect with penetration into the dermis. OBJECTIVE To evaluate the efficacy and safety of slimming cream for the treatment of cellulite. METHODS Fi...

In the title compound, C(37)H(40)N(4)O(2), the xanthene and spiro-lactam rings are almost planar, with r.m.s. deviations from the mean planes of 0.223 (2) and 0.057 (2) Å, respectively, and form a dihedral angle of 85.76 (3)°. The dihedral angle between the xanthene mean plane and the benzene ring is 87.16 (5)°. One of the two ethyl groups of one of the diethyl-amino groups is disordered over t...

The development of drugs for photodynamic therapy (PDT) is an important area of research due to their growing use in medical applications. Therefore, it is important to develop new bioassay methods for PDT photosensitizers that are inexpensive, easy to handle and highly sensitive to environmental conditions. Xanthene dyes (fluorescein, rose bengal B, erythrosine B and eosin Y) with LED light so...

a simple and environmentally benign procedure for the synthesis of 14-aryl-14h-dibenzo[a,j]xanthenes by a one-pot condensation of 2-naphthol with aromatic aldehyde in the presence of [et3nh][hso4] as an acidic ionic liquid catalyst under solvent-free conditions has been developed. the reaction work-up is very simple and the catalyst can be easily separated from the reaction mixture and reused s...

14-aryl- and 14-alkyl-14-h-dibenzo [a,j]xanthenes are prepared from the reaction of aromatic- and aliphaticaldehydes with β-naphthol in the presence of catalytic amounts of 4-dodecylbenzenesulfonic acid(dbsa) as asurfactant-type brønsted acid catalyst in toluene and under solvent-free conditions in excellent yields and shortreaction times. the catalyst was recovered and reused for five successi...

A new spirocyclized rhodol-based fluorescent probe has been developed for detecting mitochondrial Cu(+). Alkylation of the hydroxy group of a xanthene moiety with a tris(2-pyridylmethyl)amine-based ligand induced the formation of a non-fluorescent spirocyclic structure. The reaction with Cu(+) in the presence of submillimolar concentrations of glutathione at physiological pH resulted in the eli...
