The addition of a π‐bond to a five‐membered ring σ‐bond has been observed for the first time on irradiation of a crystalline film of the cyclopentanone derivative (1). Intermolecular addition of the π‐coupled 1,5‐diradical formed from (1) to the carbonyl group of a further molecule of (1) leads, aside from other dimers, to the spiroheterocycle (2) .
