Reaktionsschritte

After the reaction, recovery of isochromanones can be carried out by concentration of reaction mixture or extraction with an organic solvent such as ethyl acetate, toluene, xylene and ethylbenzene. When the reaction mixture is separated into two layers, i.e., a water layer and a product layer, depending on the target isochromanones, it is possible to separate and remove the water layer. In particular, when the product is 3-isochromanone, the product layer is liquid at 85° C. or higher, so that solubility in water is low and the target compound can be recovered by separation operation. Further, distillation and purification under reduced pressure can give rise to highly pure 3-isochromanone.
