Ashok D. Sagar, Sadhana N. Cha

Abstract

Lignin sulphonic acid was found to be a recyclable solid acid catalyst for the synthesis of 1, 8-dioxooctahydroxanthenes in excellent yields by irradiation to microwave. The important features of new procedure are rapid rates of reaction with cleaner conversions, and simple work-up
