    Abstract: Preparation of phthalides (I) involves reducing a phthalic acid compound (II) at the cathode of an electrolysis cell to cause a (II) conversion at a rate of 80-99.5%, followed by crystallizing (I) from the electrolyte. Preparation of phthalides (I) involves reduction of a phthalide compound (II), dissolved in an electrolyte, at the cathode of an undivided electrolysis cell. (II) is selected from phthalic acid and its derivatives in which the carboxy groups are replaced by groups derived from carboxy in a condensation reaction and/or one or more H atoms on the o-phenylene unit are replaced by inert substituents. Reaction is carried out to a conversion such that the molar ratio (I) : ((I) + (II)) is 0.8-0.995 : 1. The electrolyte is then removed from the cell, and (I) is crystallized from the electrolyte (optionally after distillation work-up) and separated from the mother liquor.

    Abstract: Phthalides in as-obtained phthalide synthesis reaction mixtures are recovered in pure form by(a) distilling compounds having a boiling point below the boiling point of the phthalide from the reaction mixture, provided such compounds are present in the reaction mixture, to obtain a crude phthalide as bottom product,(b) crystallizing the phthalide from a melt of the crude phthalide.
