Dihydrobenzo[h]coumarins (5a–7a) and their 4‐methyl analogs (5b–7b) were synthesized from 1‐naphthol via two different synthetic routes. One pathway is the direct condensation of 5,8‐dihydro‐1‐naphthol (9) with malic acid or ethyl acetoacetate, affording 7,10‐dihydrobenzo[h]coumarins 7a and 7b, respectively. The other is through the oxidation of 7,8,9,10‐tetrahydrobenzo[h] coumarins (15a–b), followed by the reduction of the carbonyl group and dehydration of hydroxyl group, giving 7,8-dihydrobenzo[h]coumarins (5a, b) and 9,10-dihydrobenzo[h]coumarins (6a, b). The regio selectivities for the oxidation reactions of 15a, b were rationalized on the basis of quantum chemical calculations and further confirmed by the X‐ray crystallographic analysis of the derivatives of oxidation products.
