## Abstract Two novel constituents of __Burley__ tobacco condensate were shown to be 5‐(4‐methyl‐2‐furyl)‐6‐methylheptan‐2‐one (__solanofuran__, **4**) and 3,4,7‐trimethyl‐1,6‐dioxa‐spiro[4.5]‐dec‐3‐en‐2‐one (__spiroxabovolide__, **6**). These structures were deduced from spectral data and confirme

✦ Synopsis
Abstract
The acetylenic diol 2, prepared by reaction of but‐3‐yn‐2‐ol dianion with 2,6,6‐trimethyl‐4,4‐ethylenedioxy‐cyclohex‐2‐en‐1‐one (1), afforded 3,5,5‐trimethyl‐4‐(2‐butenylidene)‐cyclohex‐2‐en‐1‐one (4), a major constituent of Burley tobacco flavour, upon LiAlH~4~ reduction and hydrolysis. Vomifoliol (5) and blumenol C (6) were major by‐products in this reaction.
