The mixture was heated under reflux until no orange colour persisted then cooled, filtered and the filtrate evaporated to leave an oil. This was distilled until ~16 g distilate bp 98°-140°/0.8-5 mm (starting material) had been collected. The residue was then heated at atmospheric pressure until no more methyl bromide was evolved, to give a mixture of the title compound and 4-methylphthalide. Addition of hot petrol and filtration from the phthalide gave after evaporation the title compound. τ (CDCl3) 7.48 (3H, s), 6.21 (3H, s), 5.65 (2H, s), 2.6-2.93 (2H, m), 2.18 (1H, d, J=8 Hz).
