Various 4-methylenecyclohexanones and bridged bicyclo[3.n.1]alkanones (n = 2 or 3) are readily available via a palladium-catalyzed C,C-dialkylative cyclisation of monoalkylated β-diketones with allylic diacetate 1a (or dicarbonate 1b). A one-pot bicycloannulation/retro Claisen fragmentation leading to medium-sized cycloalkanones from monoalkylated cyclic β-diketones is described.
