The cerium‐catalyzed C−C coupling reaction of carbo‐ and heterocyclic β‐dicarbonyl compounds 1 with styrenes 4 , using oxygen (air) as the oxidant, at ambient temperature, is reported. The reaction afforded a mixture of diastereoisomeric hydroperoxides 5 which could be transformed into the unique dioxo compounds 6 by disproportionation of the peroxo function under treatment with acetyl chloride/pyridine.
