A one‐pot synthesis of 9‐arylxanthenes from easily prepared o ‐hydroxy bisbenzylic alcohols and diaryliodonium salts has been reported. O ‐hydroxy bisbenzylic alcohols were utilized to generate carbinols in situ with diaryliodonium salts promoted by base. Carbinols were then subjected to Brønsted acid catalyzed cyclization to furnish 9‐arylxanthenes. A variety of symmetrical and unsymmetrical 9‐aryxanthenes have been prepared assisted by base and Brønsted acid under mild conditions with satisfactory yields (up to 95 % yield). Furthermore, the procedure is capable of tolerating a wide range of substrates (36 examples).
