Surprising rearrangements in a rigid system : A cyclopropyl ring is formed unexpectedly when a trienone substrate is subjected to the Nazarov cyclization (see scheme). The participation of the unconjugated alkene unit present in the substrate might be a consequence of the complete torquoselectivity of the initial electrocyclic closure. A subsequent rearrangement by a homo‐1,5‐hydrogen shift occurs cleanly to give the final product.
