Abstract

When we attempted to synthesize (E)‐3‐(benzo[d][1,3]dioxol‐5‐ylmethylene)‐4‐(propan‐2‐ylidene)‐dihydrofuran‐2,5‐dione, we found a novel rearrangement and obtained the unexpected compound that is assigned as benzo‐medium‐ring anhydride instead of the expected compound. We described the novel rearrangement and a potential method for the synthesis of benzo‐medium‐ring anhydride derivatives.
