✦ Synopsis
Work in our Laboratories has led to a number of new approaches for the construction of the a-methylene lactone structural unit employing O-hydroxymethyl,' a-carboxylic acid,2 and (II-phenylseleny13 lactones. Continued interest4 in methods for the synthesis of a-methylene lactones prompts us to report a novel CZ-methylenation procedure for conversion of the trans-fused ybutyrolactone 1 into the trans-fused CZ-methyleney-butyrolactone 5 with complete exclusion of the endocyclic isomer 6.

An efficient synthesis of indenoindene-fused a-methylene-c-butyrolactones was carried out via a tandem intra-and intermolecular Friedel-Crafts reaction from the spiro-lactone, which can be easily prepared from ninhydrin by indium-mediated Barbier reaction of cinnamyl bromide.
