Abstract

Summary Indene chloride reacts rapidly with phenol and its simple derivatives with loss of two molecules of hydrogen chloride. One of the compounds formed in each case is an ether which is probably a derivative of a benzindenofuran. The major part of the reaction product is, however, phenolic in character. 3. A reaction mechanism is suggested that explains the formation of most of the compounds isolated.
