We report a novel process for the preparation of 2-substituted cyclobutanones. Such a method relies on the cross-coupling reaction of bromocyclobutenyl diethyl phosphate with either boronic acids or organozinc reagents. Dephosphorylation of the prepared 2-substituted cyclobutenyl phosphates affords 2-substituted cyclobutanones. We observed that the course of the dephosphorylation reaction depends on the properties of the substituents found on the cyclobutene nucleus. The presence of groups capable of stabilizing the negative charge is necessary for ring opening of cyclobutanones. The scope of the reported process for the preparation of 2-substituted cyclobutanones has also been extended to the preparation of cyclobutenyl sulfides.

Cyclobutanols undergo an oxidative ring expansion with Co(acac)2 and triplet oxygen to give 1,2-dioxanols. The formation of an alkoxy radical drives the regioselective cleavage of the ring on the more substituted side before insertion of molecular oxygen. The reaction is particularly effective on secondary cyclobutanols but works also on certain tertiary alcohols. Further substitution with neutral nucleophiles under catalytic Lewis acid conditions led to original 1,2-dioxanes with a preferred 3,6-cis-configuration.

2,2-Dimethyl cyclopentanones are readily prepared by acid catalyzed ring expansion of isopropenylcyclobutanols; the method allows ready access to the family of sesquiterpenes cuparanes and herbertanes, as demonstrated by the synthesis of (±)-α-cuparenone
