A problem of 3-methoxyphthalide reduction by metal hydrides was reinvestigated. Various effects controlling selectivity of reductions in 3-substituted phthalides were studied, and a qualitative interpretation of the results is now proposed. Methods for obtaining enhanced yields of one or the other lactonic product were developed.
