The title olefins are generated by selenoxide pyrolysis and trapped by Diels-Alder additions. Diastereomerically pure selenoxide is isolated and shown to equilibrate (6 : 1) with its epimer in the presence of water at room temperature. 5-Oxaspiro [2.4]-6-vinyl-6-hepten-4-one (9) is a new Diels-Alder diene for the simple construction of terpenoid lactones.
