Abstract
Xanthenes are known to exhibit a diverse range of biological properties, such as antimicrobial, antitumor, antioxidant, antimalarial anti-inflammatory, etc. Owing to their significant applications in medicinal as well as industrial fields, the xanthene framework has appeared as a remarkable synthetic target. This chapter offers an overview of the plethora of multicomponent reactions employed for the synthesis of xanthene and its derivatives. Multicomponent reactions that comply with the âGreen Chemistryâ principles have emerged as a powerful strategy that combines structural diversity with eco-compatibility.

INTRODUCTION
Xanthenes (dibenzo[b,e]pyrans) (Fig. 1) are vital biologically dynamic molecules with diverse imperative pharmacological properties such as antiviral [1], anti-inflammatory [2], antimycobacterial [3], antioxidant [4], antiproliferative [5], antileukemic [6], antifungal [7] and antiplasmodial [8], etc. Owing to their interesting spectroscopic properties, these heterocyclic moieties have also been utilized as dyes [9], sensitizers in photodynamic therapy [10] and laser technology [11], as well as pH-sensitive fluorescent materials [12].
Structure of 9H-Xanthene/ dibenzo[b,e]pyran
Xanthene and its derivatives are generally synthesized or obtained as a microbial metabolite. They are seldom isolated from natural plants; for instance, Blumeaxanthene (I and II) [13, 14] is extracted from the stem of Blumea riparia (Bl.) DC. (Fig. 2).
Example of Natural Xanthenes
The unique properties of xanthene make its synthesis a perpetual field of research [15-18]. In recent years, there have been prodigious advancements in âGreen Chemistry,â which accentuates the design and development of environmentally benevolent protocols to access biologically elaborated molecular scaffolds. The use of multicomponent approach for the synthesis of heterocyclic compounds is a step forward towards sustainability. Multicomponent reactions have well-known advantages like simplicity, efficiency, selectivity, low-energy consumption, high atom economy, low-waste production [19-23]. To further influence and improve the environmental performance of organic synthesis, the combination of multicomponent reactions with other Green chemistry tools, like nonconventional sol...
