On acid‐catalyzed hydrolysis, the tricyclic compounds 2 and 10 , incorporating cyclopropyl‐silyl‐ether moieties undergo rearrangement to the cis ‐decalones 3 and 7 , respectively. Hydrolysis of 2 and 10 in the presence of oxygen leads additionally to the formation of the 1,2‐dioxolan‐3‐ols 9 and 13 , respectively, which involves an electron‐transfer oxygenation process as could be demonstrated by photooxygenation of the silyl ether 10 and the cyclopropanol 14 in the presence of 9,10‐dicyanoanthracene. The configurations of 3 and 9 were assigned by X‐ray analysis of the latter compound as well as of the p ‐nitrobenzoate 8 of 3 .
