An expeditious, three‐step synthesis of rhein ( 2 ) was optimized starting from bis( N , N ‐diethyl)‐5‐methoxybenzene‐1,3‐dicarboxamide. The key final step, involving deprotection/cyclization of ortho ‐benzoylbenzoic acid 9 in acidic chloroaluminate molten salts, yielded the desired natural product with high selectivity and good overall yield by precluding the competitive Hayashi rearrangement.(© Wiley‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.
