Cycloalumination of 3¡ä-methylene-(5¦Á)-spirocholestane-3,1¡ä-cyclobutane with triethylaluminum catalyzed by Cp2ZrCl2 was accomplished for the first time to give (5¦Á)-spirocholestane-3,1¡ä-(6¡ä-ethyl-6¡ä-aluminaspiro [3.4] octane) in 89 % . The latter, without isolation, was converted into spirotetrahydroselenophene or spirotetrahydrofuran.
