Abstract
The three-carbon ring expansion methodology commences with the preparation of a cyclic allene (C9, C11, C13), readily available from the corresponding cycloalkene via dibromocarbene addition and subsequent treatment with methyllithium. Dichloroketene addition to the cyclic allene regioselectively provides the [2+ 2] cycloadduct, which is reductively dechlorinated with zinc in methanol. The resulting cyclobutanone is then ...
