Cracked under strain : Strained allylic cyclobutanols and cyclopropanols readily undergo a ring expansion described by the title rearrangement. This reaction is promoted by catalytic amounts of 1 and displays high tolerance with respect to the substrate scope. The corresponding β‐fluoro spiroketone products are isolated in high yields and with excellent stereoselectivities. EDG=electron‐donating group, EWG=electron‐withdrawing group.
