It is shown that benzocyclobutenols 1 are excellent starting materials for the obtention of polycyclic aromatic ketones.Thus under basic conditions they lead to benzocyclenedione mono ketals which may be hydrolyzed into the corresponding benzocyclenediones.Under acidic conditions, a transposition takes place leading to indanone derivatives.The mechanism of this transposition is discussed.
