RESUMEN
Synthesis of highly functionalized spiro[4.4]nonane and spiro[4.5]decane motifs by the reaction of dimethylacetylenedicarboxylate (DMAD) with 2-(2'-ketoalkyl)-1,3-indandiones and 2-(3'-ketoalkyl)-1,3-indandiones, respectively, has been developed by utilizing a catalytic amount of DABCO. The tertiary hydroxy-containing spiro[4.4]nonane products were converted into fully conjugated pentafulvene π-systems in an acidic medium through dehydration and unprecedented C-C bond rearrangement.
