A facile and versatile strategy employing TiCl4-mediated cyclization followed by a Cannizzaro reaction has been developed for the synthesis of various xanthene derivatives. The reaction proceeded smoothly to afford both xanthenes/xanthones or their sulfur derivatives and tolerated a wide range of electronically diverse substrates. Using this methodology, pranoprofen was synthesized in three steps in
