An efficient and facile method for the regioselective synthesis of novel dihydrobenzo[a]fluorenes from readily accessible alkynols is presented. The current strategy triggers the formation of a dual C-C bond intramolecularly via Lewis acid catalysis under mild reaction conditions. Notably, secondary as well as tertiary alcohols bearing an alkyne moiety have been smoothly transformed into the corresponding products. As a result, novel tetracyclic dihydrobenzo[a]fluorenes have been accomplished using this approach. ©
