The compounds in the title (cf 1a, 1b and 2) react with various reagents, often under mild conditions, mostly by breaking of the central double bond.According to X-ray diffraction the central double bond of 2-(9-xanthylidene)indane-1,3-dione is inclined by 47.2 deg.The relationship between the structure and reactivity of the compounds in the title is discussed.
