Crossed one-pot reaction of mixed cyclic beta-dicarbonyl with various aldehydes in the presence of cyanogen bromide and triethylamine leads to the selective and efficient formation of crossed new unsymmetrical spiro dihydrofurans at room temperature. The products were obtained in good to excellent yields. Structure elucidation was carried out by H-1 NMR, C-13 NMR, FT-IR spectroscopy, Mass analyses and X-ray crystallography technique. A proposed mechanism was discussed for the formation of products.
