The O- and C-cyanoethylations of 2-hydroxybiphenyl and its methyl ether have been utilized to yield chromanone and indanone derivatives.The reaction of 2-methoxybiphenyl with acrylic acid affords 1--3--1-propanone, instead of the indanone, while with α-methyl-acrylic acid, 2,3-dihydro-6-methoxy-2-methyl-5-phenyl-1H-inden-1-one has been isolated.The structures of all the compounds have been established on the basis of spectral and analytical data.
