An efficient one-pot synthesis of 1,8-dioxo-octahydroxanthene is achieved through a condensation of arylaldehydes and 5,5-dimethyl-1,3-cyclohexanedione in the presence of N-bromosuccinimid. This method enjoys several advantages such as low cost, simple work up procedure and safe reaction conditions. Graphical Abstract Table 1. Optimization of reaction condition.
