The disclosed process can efficiently synthesize functionalized benzosuberenes. The process provides an improved method of production of benzosuberene and compounds containing a benzosuberene moiety, which is characterized by a ring closing methodology comprising reaction of a 5-phenylpentanoic acid with Eaton's reagent to form the benzosuberone. The process, optionally, further includes steps for adding a functional group at the ketone position.
