This report covers boron tribromide (BBr3) mediated dearomative spirocyclization of biaryl ynones. The direct synthesis of spiro[5.5]dienones with a tri-substituted double bond is described for the first time in this paper. The scope of the reaction is broad and the spirocyclic products were obtained in moderate to good yields.
