Thanks to their lack of polarity, the exocyclic double bonds of 4-alkylidenecyclopentenones 4 are selectively epoxidized by MCPBA to give spiroepoxycyclopentenones 7, which feature the nonclassical 1-oxaspiro[2.4]hept-6-en-5-oneframework. Under acidic conditions, compounds 7 undergo ring-opening to afford 4-hydroxy-4-(1-hydroxyalkyl)cyclopentenones 10.
