A rapid and quantitative synthesis of xanthene derivatives using sulfonated graphitic carbon nitride under ball‐milling

Article abstract of DOI:10.1002/jhet.4327

A truly green, solventless, and fast protocol for the quantitative preparation of biologically active xanthene derivatives with 10 mol% sulfonated graphitic carbon nitride (Sg─CN) as a heterogeneous acidic catalyst was developed. Excellent yields, low cost, solvent‐free conditions, high catalytic activity, reusability of the catalyst, simple workup, and heterogeneous carbon‐based catalyst make the present method particularly attractive from a green chemistry perspective.
