Abstract
The syntheses of o-hydroxymethyl-trans-stilbenes, 2-aryl-1-(o-hydroxymethylphenyl) ethanols, and 1-aryl-2-(o-hydroxymethylphenyl)ethanols from readily available 3-substituted phthalides are described. Their reaction with polyphosphoric acid is a route, superior in convenience and yield, to 2-arylindenes.Keywords
