Abstract
Trialkyl phosphites react with the monohydrates of 1,2,3-indantrione (ninhydrin) (VII) and 1,3-diphenylpropanetrione (VIII) to give the corresponding phosphate derivatives XIa–c and XVIIIa–c. The same compounds are obtained upon reacting VII and/or VIII with the proper dialkyl hydrogen phosphite. The trialkyl phosphites cause the quantitative reduction of perinaphthindantrione (IX) and/or its monohydrate (X) producing dihydroxy-peri-naphthindenone (XXI). On the other hand, dialkyl hydrogen phosphites add to IX (or X), yielding compounds XXIIa–c. Structural reasonings based on UV, IR and NMR spectral data are presented.
