Article Title: | 3-Alkyloxycyclobutanones as useful synthons for heterocycle and carbocycle synthesis |
Abstract: | Substituted 3-alkyloxycyclobutanones are highly valuable intermediates in organic synthesis, which demonstrate interesting and rich reactivity in different types of reactions due to the strain energy. Under Lewis acid catalysis, 3-alkyloxycyclobutanones can form zwitterionic intermediates and participate in a series of cycloaddition reactions as three- or four-carbon synthons. This Focus Review will mainly discuss formal [4+2], [3+2], and [3+3] annulations as well as other types of transformations with 3-alkyloxycyclobutanones. |
