Abstract
Oxidation of mu-H/alkylbisnaphthols (4a-g) gives the 14-substituted di benzo[aj]xanthenes (5a-g) as the sole product while that of mu-arylbis naphthols (4h-j) gives the xanthenes (5h-j) along with the correspondi ng spironaphthalenones (1h-j). A probable mechanism for the formation of the products has been suggested.
