Abstract
Reflux of 2,2-diaryl-1,3-indanediones in ethyleneglycol with a catalytic amount of triethylamine affords 3-(diarylmethylene)isobenzofuranones in very good yields. The latter produces 4-diarymethyl-1(2H)-phthalazinones under reflux in hydrazine hydrate (99%), and diarylmethanes upon stirring in ethylenediamine.
