Abstract Carbonyl ylides arising from ethyl acetodiazoacetate/dimethyl diazomalonate and α , β ‐enones with mainly s‐ cis conformations underwent disrotatory cyclization to produce dihydrofuran derivatives. This process proved to be sensitive to steric effects. The corresponding ylides arising from rather s‐ trans α , β ‐enals yielded dioxole derivatives. The mechanisms of the reactions are discussed.
