The reduction‐rearrangement chemistry of two rigidly held doubly vinylogous β‐diketones has been investigated. One hydrophenanthrene dienedione was a tricyclic intermediate in the Wilds total steroid synthesis and the other was prepared from the Wieland‐Miescher ketone. Lithium‐ammonia reduction yielded a cyclopropanedione and a cyclopropanoketol, respectively. Treatment of these compounds with acid furnished cyclopropane‐cleaved ketoenones.
