“…For example, these compounds have been frequently used as antibacterial [4], anti-inflammatory [5], and antiviral [6] agents, and as antagonists for inhibiting the action of zoxalamine [7]. Moreover, xanthene derivatives could be applied as dyes [8], and as pH sensitive fluorescent materials for visualization of biomolecular assemblies [9], and in laser technology [10]. The one-pot multi-component condensation reaction between arylaldehydes, 2-naphthol, and dimedone (5,5-dimethylcyclohexane-1,3-dione) has been used as the best procedure for synthesis of 12-aryl-8,9,10,12-tetrahydrobenzo[a]-xanthen-11-one derivatives.…”
