Three new phthalide derivatives (1-3) named 5-(3'-methyl-2'-butenyl)-2-hydroxy-3-methoxy-4-methylbenzoic acid (1), 5-(3'-carboxyl-3'-methyl-2E-allyloxy)-3-methoxy-4-methylphthalide (2) and 5-(3',3'-dimethylallyloxy)-2-methoxycarbonyl-3-methoxy-4-methylbenzoic acid (3) together with six known phthalide derivatives named 5-(3',3'-dimethylallyloxy)-3-methoxy-4-methylphthalide (4), zinnimidine (5), 5-(3',3'-dimethylallyloxy)-3-methoxy-4-methylphthalide (6), 5-(3',3'-dimethylallyloxy)-3-methoxy-4-methylphthalic acid (7), zinniol anhydride (8) and porriolide (9) were isolated from

The annulation of phthalides with α-alkyl/arylacrylates in the presence of LDA/LHMDS is shown to directly give alkyl/aryl-1-naphthols. The method involving a novel dealkoxycarbonylation obviates the regiochemical issues in the synthesis of polysubstituted naphthalenes, and it forms the key step in
Juan Mangas-Sánchez et al.
Organic letters, 14(6), 1444-1447 (2012-03-08)
A straightforward synthesis of (S)-3-methylphthalides has been developed, with the key asymmetric step being the bioreduction of 2-acetylbenzonitriles. Enzymatic processes have been found to be highly dependent on the pH value, with acidic conditions being required to avoid undesired side
Jaganathan Karthikeyan et al.
Chemical communications (Cambridge, England), 47(37), 10461-10463 (2011-08-19)
A cobalt-catalyzed addition of aryl- and alkenylboronic acids to aldehydes and phthalaldehyde to give the corresponding biarylketones and 3-aryl phthalides in good to excellent yields in one pot is described.
Tsz-Ying Yuen et al.
Organic letters, 14(19), 5154-5157 (2012-09-29)
A highly convergent total synthesis of 7',8'-dihydroaigialospirol is described. Key steps of the synthesis include a Nozaki-Hiyama-Kishi (NHK) coupling of an iodoalkyne with an advanced phthalide-aldehyde and a remarkable one-pot acid-mediated global deprotection/spiroacetalization.
