This study describes the synthesis of a class of anion-binding catalysts based on a xanthene scaffold. Both unsymmetrical catalysts and <i>C</i><sub>2</sub>-symmetrical catalysts were generated, and were examined in the cyclization of 3- and 2-substituted furans onto <i>N</i>-acyliminium ions. Good conversion for each reaction was observed with a variety of anion-binding catalysts (42-76%). ...[more]
