title: Reaction of benzyne with salicylaldehydes: general synthesis of xanthenes, xanthones, and xanthols.
abstract: The reaction of salicylaldehydes with benzyne prepared from o-trimethylsilyphenyl triflate and CsF gave xanthenes and xanthones. When the reaction was carried out under basic conditions, 9-hydroxyxanthenes (xanthols) were obtained in good yields.
