2‐Arylethylbut‐3‐en‐1‐ol is found to undergo smooth Prins cascade reactions with various aldehydes in the presence of Sc(OTf) 3 (10 mol‐%) and a stoichiometric amount of TsOH to afford the corresponding trans ‐fused hexahydro‐1 H ‐benzo[ f ]isochromenes in good yields with excellent selectivity. Likewise, N ‐tosyl‐2‐phenethylbut‐3‐en‐1‐amine gives trans ‐fused octahydrobenzo[ f ]isoquinoline derivatives under similar conditions. This is the first example of the synthesis of hexahydro‐1 H ‐benzo[ f ]isochromene and octahydrobenzo‐[ f ]isoquinoline from 2‐arylethylbut‐3‐en‐1‐ol and N ‐tosyl‐2‐phenethylbut‐3‐en‐1‐amine, respectively.
