An unusual and efficient reaction of 2-methylene-3-phenyloxetane in the presence of lithium and 4,4'-di-tert-butylbiphenyl in THF

When 2-methylene-3-phenyloxetane (4) was treated with excess lithium and DTBB (cat.), lactone 6 was isolated as an unexpected product in high yield. It is postulated that 6 arises from a coupling of a radical enolate derived from 4 and the enolate of acetaldehyde, a product of THF decomposition under the reaction conditions.

Vinylic halides or triflates react with 3-butenoic or 4-pentenoic acids in the presence of 5percent Pd(OAc)2 or Pd(dba)2, n-Bu4NCl, i-PrNEt and either acetonitrile or N,N-dimethylformamide at 80-100 deg C to afford the corresponding γ-alkenyl-γ-butyro- or
