| Authors: | Debkumar Bhattacharjee Frank D Popp |
| Abstract: | A series of phthalyl alcohols containing methoxy and methyl substituents were prepared by lithium aluminum hydride reduction of phthalides. Oxidation of the phthalyl alcohols with activated manganese dioxide or with barium manganate gave phthalaldehydes or phthalides depending on the position of the ring substituents. |
