Starting from cyclobutanones and tertiary cyclobutanols several new chromenes containing a cyclobutane ring have been prepared by acid catalyzed intramolecular alkylation of an oxygen-carrying aromatic ring. Interestingly one of the cyclobutanols leads to 3-[(4-methoxyphenoxy)methyl]-2,2,3-trimethylcyclopentanone that is a precursor in the synthesis of the carotenoid pigment capsorubin.
