A new class of hybrid molecules is accessed by elaborating testosterone's AB ring into the norsesquiterpene spirolactone A′B′ ring. The cyclic ene‐acetal 6b , obtained by a PhI(OAc) 2 ‐mediated domino process from vicinal unsaturated diol 5 , is used for the synthesis of a norsesquiterpene spirolactone/testosterone hybrid. The route presented combines the advantages of domino reactions with the ease of functional group interchange on steroidal frameworks. (© Wiley‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.
