N2  - Condensation of 2-acetoxymethylbenzaldehyde with 2-hydroxy-4- methoxyacetophenone gave a low yield of the phthalan named in the title instead of the desired 2-hydroxymethylchalcone. The 1,3- dihydroisobenzofuran, presumably formed by cyclization of the chalcone, showed long-range coupling between the 1- and 3-protons as part of an ABM2X system.
