    An expeditious procedure for the synthesis of 14- aryl-14H-dibenzo[a,j]xanthenes and 1,8-dioxo-octahydro-xanthenes through one-pot pseudo three component condensation of β-naphthol or dimedone with various aryl aldehydes is described. This greener protocol is catalyzed by phosphosulfonic acid, and proceeds efficiently in the absence of any organic solvent under optimized, mild, green and environmentally benign reaction conditions in high yields within 20-55 minutes

    High-Speed Reduction of Triarylpyrylium Salts Using Zn(BH4)2/SiO2 as an Efficient and Regiospecific Reducing Reagent

    The regiospecific reduction of some triarylpyrylium salts in the presence of modified hydride donors was investigated. Among these reagents, Zn(BH4)2/SiO2 performed the best results. The major advantages of this reagent are the cheapness, availability, simplicity in operation, very short reaction time and much improved regioselectivity in comparison with the other reducing reagents
