Abstract
1,1'-Bi-2-naphthol (1) was oxidized into 1-oxo-13c-alkyloxy-1,13c-dihydro-d ibenzo [a,kl]-xanthenes (2-11) with high isolated yields (58-94%) in alcoho l solvents under the catalysis of copper(II)-amine complexes in the presenc e of oxygen. The conversion of 1 to 2-11 belongs to Domino-reaction.
