Seven 9-xanthenones were oxidized with manganese(III) acetate to give carboxy-, dicarboxy-, (acetoxymethyl)(carboxy)-, (carboxy)(hydroxymethyl)-, and acetoxymethyl-9-xanthenones, and to yield small amounts of (carboxymethyl)(carboxy)-, carboxymethyl-, (acetoxymethyl)(carboxymethyl)-, bis(acetoxymethyl)-, and diacetoxymethyl-9-xanthenones. The carboxyl group was preferentially introduced into the peri positions and the acetoxymethyl groups were located at positions ortho to the methoxyl or methyl group. The regioselectivity and mechanism of the carboxylation reaction is discussed briefly.
