Xanthene dyes are a series of brilliant fluorescent dyes exhibiting superior photophysical properties, which facilitate their applications in various field. Traditionally, they are prepared via acid-catalyzed condensations between electron-rich resorcinol(m-aminophenols) and phthalic anhydride. Recently, structurally complicated xanthenes are often in need for bioimaging applications and not readily accessed with the aforementioned methods. This has promoted the development of novel pathways for their synthesis, which are summarized in this review. The scope and limitations of each methods are briefly discussed.
