A convenient, one-pot process for the synthesis of spiro delta- and gamma-lactones and alcohols from conjugated dienes mediated by Rieke magnesium is described. This technique involves the treatment of a substituted (2-butene-1,4-diyl)magnesium complex with an epoxide or ketone at -78 degrees C, followed by the addition of carbon dioxide at 0 degrees C to room temperature. After acidic hydrolysis and subsequent warming, a spiro delta- or gamma-lactone accommodating both a quaternary carbon center and vinyl moiety at the beta-position is afforded in good isolated yield. Alternatively, acidic hydrolysis of the initially formed adduct at 0 degrees C furnishes an alcohol containing a quaternary carbon center in good to excellent chemical yield.
