ζ‐Oxo‐α, β‐enones react with lithium dimethylcuprate to give cyclic aldols such as hydroxydecalone 1 and hydroxyspiro[4.5]decanone 2 in a regio‐ and stereospecific manner. This new reaction, a combination of conjugate methyl addition to α, β‐enones with directed intramolecular aldolisation, is suggested to proceed via either enoate anions, such as 8 and 11 , or radical anions, such as 9 → 10 and 12 → 13 , as intermediates.
