Significance

Described is the convenient, efficient regiospecific synthesis of functionalized 1,3-diarylisobenzofurans by chemoselective addition of arylmagnesium reagents to ortho-aroylbenz­aldehydes, which are obtained by an interesting lead tetraacetate oxidation-rearrangement of N-aroylhydrazones of substituted salicylaldehydes (A. Kotali, P. G. Tsoungas Tetrahedron Lett. 1987, 28, 4321).
