During condensation of 4‐chloro‐2‐methylphenol with diethyloxalacetate in sulfuric acid the spirodilactone 3 was observed as well as the desired coumarin 1 . Further reaction of 1 under the reaction conditions with 4‐chloro‐2‐methylphenol did not produce 3 readily. These observations imply the formation of the intermediate 10 prior to production of the novel spirodilactone 3 .
