The [3+3] cyclization of 1,3‐bis‐silyl enol ethers with 1,1‐diacylcyclopentanes allows a convenient synthesis of spiro[5.4]decenones. Treatment of these compounds with trifluoroacetic acid (TFA) afforded a great variety of bicyclo[4.4.0]deca‐1,4‐dien‐3‐ones containing an angular alkyl group. This core structure occurs in a number of pharmacologically relevant natural products.
