Abstract
AbstractThanks to their lack of polarity, the exocyclic double bonds of 4‐alkylidenecyclopentenones 4 are selectively epoxidized by MCPBA to give spiroepoxycyclopentenones 7, which feature the nonclassical 1‐oxaspiro[2.4]hept‐6‐en‐5‐one framework. Under acidic conditions, compounds 7 undergo ring‐opening to afford 4‐hydroxy‐4‐(1‐hydroxyalkyl)cyclopentenones 10.
