Abstract: Phthalimide and N-phenylphthalimide smoothly condense with di-p-tolyl ether in triflic acid (CF3SO3H, TfOH) to obtain the corresponding spiro[isoindoline-1,9′-xanthen]-3-ones. Structural analogs of phthalimide, such as phthalic anhydride and 1,3-indandione (but not saccharin), show similar reactivity. In contrast, N-(tetrafluoropyridin-4-yl)phthalimide reacts with DTE by an alternative pathway, yielding isobenzofuran dispiro derivative. The mechanistic aspects of these reactions are discussed on the basis of in situ NMR and theoretical (DFT) studies, providing insights on the key intermediacy of O,O-diprotonated forms of the starting compounds.
