Titanium(IV) chloride mediated condensation of 1,8-bis(trimethylsilyl)-2,6-octadiene with α, β, γ or δ-haloacyl chlorides leads to the potentially useful intermediates (d,l)-1-haloalkyl-2,5-divinylcyclopentanols. The latter, under basic treatment, afford divinyl-1-oxaspiro[m.4]alkanes (m = 2-5). Dialkylation of methyl (chloroformyl) alkanoates followed by reduction provides divinyl-1-oxaspiro[m.4]alkan-2-ols (m = 4 and 5).
