The detailed mechanism of the methoxide-catalysed rearrangement of substituted benzylidenephthalides and both normal and pseudo methyl o-phenylacetylbenzoates to form 2-phenylindane-1,3-diones has been studied.A rate-acidity function correlation for the reactions in methanolic dimethyl sulphoxide (DMSO) shows a linear increase in rate with increasing H- to reach a maximum in rate before decreasing, except for the p-nitro substrate.This derivative shows a rate decrease throughout the H- range.The ρ values in methanol and in 94 mol percent methanolic DMSO are 1.7 and -1.6, respectively.The kinetic isotope effect has been observed with kH/kD 0.8-1.0.The equilibrium constants for ring-chain tautomerism of the methyl o-phenylacetylbenzoates have been determined and shown to be independent of substituent and solvent composition.The rate-determining step is the intramolecular attack of the anion of the normal ester on the ester carbonyl group.In methanol and methanolic DMSO of high methanol content this is preceded by the ionization equilibrium of the normal ester.In methanolic DMSO of low methanol content and for the p-nitro substrate, the initial state is the anion itself.

A series of 2-substituted indan-1,3-dione derivatives, including alkyl (C-1-C-5), mono- and disubstituted phenyl, and other 2-aryl derivatives, were tested for hypolipidemic activity of CF1 male mice at 20 mg/kg per day.These derivatives reduced both serum cholesterol and triglycerides after 16 days of administration intraperitoneally. 2-(4-Methoxyphenyl)indan-1,3-dione was one of the more active compounds with 41percent reduction of serum cholesterol and 58percent reduction of serum triglyceride levels on day 16.This activity was confirmed in the rat after oral administration. 2-(2-Methylphenyl)- and 2-(4-chlorophenyl)indan-1,3-dione were effective in reducing serum triglyceride levels 58percent and 53percent, respectively, in mice.Serum cholesterol on day 16 was effectively reduced 46percent by 2-(2,4-dimethylphenyl)indan-1,3-dione.The indan-1,3-dione derivatives were more effective than clofibrate in lowering lipid levels in mice.A more detailed study on the effects of 2-(4-methoxyphenyl)indan-1,3-dione demonstrated that key enzymes in the de novo synthesis of lipids were inhibited by the drug lowering tissue levels of lipids but raising those in the feces.The alterations in lipid content of rat lipoprotein fractions by the drug appeared favorable.
