Readily accessible 2-aryloxybenzaldehydes and 2-(arylthio)benzaldehydes undergo a sequence of reactions leading to a wide variety of unsubstituted 9H-xanthenes and thioxanthenes in high yields when heated with a Lewis acid in diisopropyl ether. This reductive cyclization method is compatible with several important functional groups. The method is also applicable for the selective reductive cyclization of the more electron-rich aryl ring of a 2,6-bis(aryloxy)benzaldehyde. The key feature of this transformation is the chemoselective reduction of a transient xanthylium ion in the presence of aldehydic group via intermolecular hydride transfer from diisopropyl ether (solvent).

Exploration of the sterically-congested ethane diethyl dixanthenyl-9,9′-dicarboxylate has revealed the dynamic behavior arising from its congested C?C bond. Interlocking ‘geared’ substituents and favorable dispersion interactions around this bond result in a conformational preference for partially cofacial xanthene moieties both in solid state and as dilute solutions. The weak, centrally located C?C bond is 1.628 ? long and permits selective thermolysis to yield two carbon-centered ethyl xanthenyl-9-carboxylate radicals, which dimerize with high fidelity into the original sterically-congested ethane. Recombination of the radicals into this symmetrical head-to-head dimer is highly reproducible – by observing the equilibrium, the bond dissociation enthalpy was calculated to be 20.4 kcal ? mol?1. The substituents around the central carbon provide insufficient stabilization against oxygen, which consumes the radicals and unbalances the dimer-radical equilibrium.
