An unique approach to the synthesis of heterocyclic spiranes through ring switching transformation of suitably functionalized 2H-pyran-2-ones, benzo[h]chromene and thiochromeno[4,3-b]pyrans has been developed. The spirane dimer 11d displayed interesting halogen-hydrogen bonding to generate an elliptical cavity and may be relevant to the generation of a host guest assembly for specific cations and also a low helimerization energy barrier of spirane 17a.
