Alkylation of 2,4-disubstituted 1,3-cyclobutanediones results in tetraalkylcyclobutanediones with trans-positioned large residues.Thermal dimerization of isopropylmethylketene gives cis-dimer 4a as major product, whereas methylneopentylketene yields more of the trans-isomer 5b.The results are discussed in connection with a ?2s+?2a> process.
