Procedure

To a solution of xanthone 2 (150 g, 0.5 mol) in dry DMF (500 mL) was added potassium carbonate (100 g, 0.72 mol) and methyl iodide (180 g, 1.28 mol) and the mixture was heated with constant stirring under argon to 80° C. for 1 hour. The mixture was allowed to cool to room temperature and diluted with 2L ethyl acetate and the remaining potassium carbonate was dissolved in dilute sulfuric acid. The organic layer was dried over magnesium sulfate, filtered and concentrated in vacuo to afford the xanthone 3 (120 g, 0.38 mol, 77%) as a pale yellow solid.
