A Prins cascade process was developed for the synthesis of tetrahydro‐3 H ‐spiro[isobenzofuran‐pyran] derivatives in good yields and selectivity by the condensation of 3‐[2‐(hydroxymethyl)phenyl]but‐3‐en‐1‐ols with aldehydes or ketones. The reaction proceeds smoothly in the presence of indium(III) trifluoromethanesulfonate (30 mol‐%) in dichloroethane at 80 °C. This is the first report on the synthesis of tetrahydro‐3 H ‐spiro[isobenzofuran‐pyran] scaffolds through a Prins cascade reaction.
