Homoallyl ortho‐vinylaryl ketones were prepared through several different routes. In the presence of 1–2 mol‐% Grubbs‐II catalyst, these substrates cyclized to give 6,7‐dihydrobenzocyclohepten‐5‐ones. The enolates derived therefrom by treatment with NaHMDS in THF were oxidized by a stream of molecular oxygen at 0 °C. This furnished 6‐hydroxybenzocyclohepten‐5‐ones (“6,7‐benzotropolones”).
