3‐(Methoxycarbonyl)‐4‐(3‐methoxyphenyl)‐4‐(trifluoromethyl)‐4‐butanolide ( 4 ) was synthesised from 3‐methoxyphenyl trifluoromethyl ketone ( 1 ). Hydrolysis of the lactone ester 4 , followed by treatment with polyphosphoric acid, led to an intermediate lactone acid 3 , which on heating with PCl 5 gave the indeno‐[1,2‐ b ]furandione 5 .
