## Abstract The reaction of the steroidal spiro‐α,α‐dichlorocyclobutanone 1 carried out in basic H~2~O~2~/MeOH/THF solution proceeds with __cine__ substitution leading to the intermediate α‐chloro‐α‐methoxycyclobutanone 7 followed by the Baeyer‐Villiger rearrangement giving the spiro‐α‐chloro‐γ‐met

Abstract
Cycloaddition of dichloroketene to 3‐, 7‐, and 17‐methylene steroids affords the corresponding spirodichlorocyclobutanones, which can be reduced to monochloro‐ and unsubstituted spirocyclobutanones. Selective cycloaddition to the exo‐double bond is observed in the reaction of 3β‐acetoxy‐17‐methylene‐5‐androstene. The stereochemistry of spiro compounds is assigned on the basis of ^1^H‐ and ^13^C‐NMR spectra. Some steroidal spirolactones are obtained and their stereochemistry is assigned.

## Abstract Diastereomeric 5α‐cholestane‐3,3′‐spiro‐2′,2′‐dichlorocyclobutanones 1 and 2 served as starting materials for the synthesis of related heterocyclic spirane derivatives. Thus, diastereomeric 5α‐cholestane‐3,3′‐spiropyrrolidin‐5′‐one (10, 11), ‐3′‐spiro‐γ‐lactone (12, 16), and ‐3′‐spirote
