Abstract
Rings of various shapes and sizes: Spirocyclic hydrocarbons 2 were obtained in good to excellent yield through the triflic acid (TfOH) catalyzed cyclization of alkynyl-substituted cyclic tertiary alcohols 1 under mild conditions with good control of ring size (see scheme). The method was extended to the synthesis of bridged bicyclic ketones with high stereoselectivity.
