Ozonolysis of the ethylene acetals of 2-substituted 2-cyclohexenones followed by cyclization of the intermediate 1,6-dicarbonyl compounds affords 6-substituted 7-formyl-1,4-dioxaspiro[4,4]non-6-enes in modest yields. The same procedure applied to protected 2-substituted 2-cyclohexenols gives 2-substituted 3-formyl-2-cyclopentenyl 2-methoxyethoxymethyl ethers in satisfactory yields.
