In a second synthetic route to CVL, which is also a multi-step synthesis, 4-dimethylaminobenzaldehyde is reacted with 3-dimethylaminobenzoic acid to obtain 3-(4-dimethylaminophenyl)-6-dimethylaminophthalide in the first step. In a second step, the 3-(4-dimethylaminophenyl)-6-dimethylaminophthalide from step one is interacted with N,N-dimethylaniline in the presence of a Friedel-Crafts type catalyst to obtain 2-[bis(4-dimethylaminophenyl)methyl]-5-dimethylaminobenzoic acid. In a third step, the benzoic acid from step two is oxidized to obtain 3,3-bis(4-dimethylaminophenyl)-6-dimethylaminophthalide.
