摘要
ZrOCl2·8H2O catalyzed environmentally benign synthesis of isobenzofuran-1（3H）-ones are described.ZrOCl2·8H2O appeared to be an excellent catalyst for the condensation and reactions.Reaction of phthalaldehydic acid（2-carboxybenzaldehyde） with methylaryl and cyclic ketones was initiated by condensation and occurred in one step providing excellent yields（90-98%）.
