Abstract
Abstract Reaction of oxabicyclooctanone 3 with nucleophiles involves not only cine substitution but ring opening to cyclobutenones which are capable of further transformations. With azide as a nucleophile, further reactions occur, among them an oxy-promoted electrocyclic cyclobutane opening, with final formation of 8, the structure of which was verified by X-ray diffraction.
