Rhodium‐catalyzed intramolecular difluoromethylenative dearomatization of phenols to yield azaspirocyclohexadienones containing all‐carbon quaternary centers in good to excellent yields was developed. A variety of functional groups proved compatible with the transformation. This method could also be used for difluoromethylenative dearomatization of indoles. Preliminary mechanism studies suggest that a pure radical mechanism is not involved in this reaction.
