Abstract
Treatment of the sulfonyl ketones 1a and 1b with potassium t‐butoxide in toluene or with potassium hydroxide in toluene/dimethyl sulfoxide affords in high yield the bicyclic dienes 3a and 3b, important precursors for Exaltone® and (±)‐muscone. An application of this novel pentannulation sequence is demonstrated for the sulfonyl ketones 6, 10, and 14. An intermolecular variant is exemplified by the synthesis of diene 22.
