Trifluoromethansufonic acid (TFA) was found a proper reagent for regioselectively ring closure of resorcinol to afford 7‐hydroxy‐2,2‐dimethyl‐2,3‐dihydrochromen‐4‐one 3 . The propargylation of 3 gave rise to 2,2‐dimethyl‐7‐(2‐methylbut‐3‐yn‐2‐yloxy)‐2,3‐dihydrochromen‐4‐one 4 . Condensation of 4 with substituted phenyl or benzyl Grignard reagents afforded substituted phenyl or benzylidene chromenes 6a‐d and 4‐(substitutedbenzylidene)‐3,4‐dihydro chromenes 8a‐e , respectively.
