Reaktionsschritte

Recovery of isochromanones after the reaction is possible by concentration of reaction mixture or extraction with organic solvents such as ethyl acetate, methylene chloride, toluene, xylene, and ethylbenzene. Depending on the target isochromanones, when there are two layers, i.e., water layer and product layer, it is possible to separate the water layer and remove it. In particular, when the product is 3-isochromanone, the product layer is liquid at 85° C. or higher, and the solubility in water is low so that the target compound can be recovered by the operation of separation. Further, it is possible to obtain high purity 3-isochromanone by distillation purification under reduced pressure.
