Twice expanded : Substituted naphthols were prepared in a novel synthetic route starting from alkenyl benzocyclobutenol derivatives. The conversion includes two successive ring‐enlargement processes ( A → B → C ; see scheme). The halonium ion (X + ) induces expansion of the four‐membered ring to a five‐membered ring, and SmI 2 promotes the expansion of the five‐membered ring to the six‐membered ring with concomitant elimination of ROSmI 2 .
