Abstract: The mercuration by mercury(II) acetate proceeds as an addition and substitution reaction in the case of benzalphthalide, as a substitution reaction in the case of 3-(1-naphthal)phthalide and predominantly as an addition reaction in the case of 3-(2-naphthal)phthalide. 2-Brom-1,3-indandione is substituted in position 2 while 2-aryl-l,3-indandiones give some instable complexes.
