Preparation of Donor-Acceptor-Substituted Vinylcyclobutanes

2-Methylen-1,3-dioxolane (1) and the methyl acrylates or crotonates 2 form cycloadducts 3 which are reduced to give alcohols 6.Oxidation of these alcohols at low temperatures leads to unstable aldehydes 7, which either rearrange to dihydropyrans 5 or react with Wittig(-Horner) reagents to afford donor-acceptor-substituted vinylcyclobutanes 8.The cis-vinylcyclobutane 8g is prepared by cycloaddition of dioxolane 1 and methyl (2E,4Z)-hexadienoate (9).The configurations and preferred conformations of the vinylcyclobutanes 8 have unequivocally been assigned on the basis of 13C- and 1H-NMR spectra.
