Abstract

Phthalides, isobenzofuran-1(3H)-ones, constitute an import- ant class of naturally occurring oxygen ring compounds, well known for their interesting biological properties.1 They are also used as intermediates for the synthesis of iso- coumarins,2 anthraquinones3 and anthracyclines.4 In view of this, various methods have been reported for their synthesis. As a part of our ongoing programme directed towards the synthesis of various naturally occurring and biologically ...
