Abstract

The O-ethylation of 3-methyl-and 3-phenylphthalide followed by borohydride reduction was used to prepare cis/trans mixtures of 1, 3-dihydro-l-ethoxy-3-methyl (or pheny1) isobenzofuran. The cis isomer is formed preferentially, presumably due to steric interference of hydride attack by the 3-substituent. Equilibrium mixtures of the l-methoxy analogues, formed by acid-catalyzed transacetalization in methanol, slightly favor the trans isomer. ...
