The terminal allene Cα=Cβ bonds of 4-vinylidene-2-oxazolidinone (2) readily undergo [2 + 2] cycloaddition with a wide variety of terminal alkynes, alkenes, and 1,3-dienes irrespective of their electronic nature under strictly thermal activation conditions (70-100°C) and provide 3-substituted (Z)-methylenecyclobutenes 6, 3-substituted methylenecyclobutanes 7 and 8, and 3-vinylmethylenecyclobutanes 9, respectively, in good to excellent yields. Alkenes react with 2 with complete retention of configuration. The [2 + 2] cycloaddition is concluded to proceed via a concerted [(π2s + π2s)allene + π2s] Hueckel transition state on the basis of experimental evidences and quantum mechanical methods. Some highly polarized enones and nitrile oxide, on the other hand, react with 2 selectively at the internal C4=Cα double bonds and give spiro compounds 10 and 11, respectively. The bent allene bonds (173-176°) and the unique reactivity associated with 2 are attributed to a low-lying LUMO (Cα=Cβ) that is substantiated by a through-space σ*(N-SO2)-π*(Cα= Cβ) orbital interaction.
