Trimethylaluminum and molecular oxygen are used in tandem to interrupt the Nazarov cyclization. α-Hydroxycyclopentanones are produced in moderate to good yield as a mixture of epimers. This sequence is the first example of combined nucleophilic/electrophilic trapping of the Nazarov oxyallyl intermediate.
