Abstract

Reflux of 2, 2-diaryl-1, 3-indanediones in ethyleneglycol with a catalytic amount of triethylamine affords 3-(diaryl-methylene) 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.
