Reducing the reluctant : 1,1‐dilithiosilole 1 reacts with 1,3‐dienes and undergoes an unusual “oxidative cyclization”, in which lithium ions are reduced to metallic lithium and spirosilole adducts like 2 (see scheme) are formed in high yield. This transformation proceeds through well‐ordered transition‐state geometries, in which the lithium ions play a decisive role.
