Formation of SubstitutedBenzocyclobutenes Startingfrom Donor–Acceptor Cyclopropanes
We describe an operationally simple, good-yielding, two-step cascade process to convert biscyclopropanes <b>1</b> into high-value benzocyclobutene building blocks <b>3</b>. This study highlights the novel reactivity of our “in-house” donor–acceptor cyclopropane, achieving complete diastereoselectivity and regioselectivity transfer.
