A one‐step transformation of γ ‐ and δ ‐(spiro)lactones into γ , δ ‐ and δ , ε ‐unsaturated ketones in the presence of carboxylic acids in the vapor phase at 400° over a supported manganese catalyst is reported for the first time. The scope of this new transformation is exemplified with a series of lactones, and a mechanistic rationale is proposed.
