Hydroxylamine-O-sulfonic Acid (HOSA): As a Task Specific Catalyst for the Synthesis of 1,8-Dioxo-octahydroxanthenes under Mild, Green and Solvent-free Condition

Abstract

A highly efficient procedure for the synthesis of 1,8-dioxo-octahydroxanthenes under mild, green and solvent-free condition by using HOSA as a dual role catalyst is described. This is the first report of catalytic activity of HOSA.
