Several new Grignard reagents based on substituted cyclobutanes have been generated and added to cyclobutanones to yield mono- to trimethylated [1,1′-bicyclobutyl]-1-ols. Mono- to trimethylated spiro[3.4]octan-5-ols have been prepared from the parent ketone via alkylation and/or addition reactions. Upon treatment with acid, all [1,1′-bicyclobutyl]-1-ols and spiro[3.4]octan-5-ols rearrange to yield a single bicyclo[3.3.0]octene. Mono- to trimethylated [1,1′-bicyclobutyl]-1-ols and spiro[3.4]octan-5-ols have been synthesized and rearranged to yield a single bicyclo[3.3.0]octene in each case. Examples are 42, 43, 44 and 45.

A process for the preparation of a cyclobutanone of the formula STR1 in which R1 to R6 each independently is a hydrogen, halogen, cyano, alkoxy, alkoxycarbonyl, carboxamido, dialkylphosphono, alkyl, cycloalkyl, aryl, aralkyl or alkenyl radical, or two of them together with the carbon atom to which each is linked form a ring, comprising reacting an N,N-disubstituted carboxylic acid amide of the formula STR2 in which R7 and R8 each independently is an alkyl, cycloalkyl, alkenyl, aryl or aralkyl radical or together form a ring, with an inorganic acid halide, and then reacting the product with a tertiary amine, an olefin of the formula STR3 and a Lewis acid, and subsequently hydrolyzing the mass. Preferably isobutyric acid dimethylamide is employed as the carboxylic acid amide, phosgene is employed as the inorganic acid halide, triethylamine is employed as the tertiary amine and zinc chloride or titanium tetrachloride is employed as the Lewis acid. The products are known intermediates for insecticides.
