A flexible synthetic route leading via indan-1-ones to variously methylated and oxygenated isocoumarins is described.The indanones are prepared by alternative routes involving intramolecular Friedel-Crafts cyclisation of arylpropionic acids or pericyclic ring closure of acrylophenones.The influence of substitution on the rate of the pericyclic reaction is assessed.
