Compound Q&A
How is 9H-Xanthene (CAS: 92-83-1) typically synthesized?
Answer
9H-Xanthene is commonly synthesized by the condensation of 3-isocyanatobenzaldehyde and 2-hydroxybenzaldehyde in the presence of a base like sodium hydroxide. The reaction yields a mixture of isomers, and the most desired product can be isolated by recrystallization. The yield is generally around 60-70%.
