Aromatic-fused pyran-4-one skeleton exists in many natural and synthetic biologically active materials. An efficient method for the transformation of naphthyl 3-methylcrotonate to 2,3-dihydro-benzo[f]chromen-1-one catalyzed by ferric chloride is described, which provides a practical process to afford this type of biologically important compounds in good yields using commercially available and inexpensive catalyst. A two-step mechanism involving Fries rearrangement and intramolecular hydroalkoxylation is proposed.

Key words: ferric chloride, aromatic-fused pyrone, catalysis, Fries rearrangement, hydroalkoxylation
