Dendralenes are simple alkenes with cross-conjugated double bonds that are frequently synthesized due to being potentially valuable building blocks for the synthesis of more complex structures. The synthetic approaches to dendralenes are based on the cross-coupling reactions of electrophilic and nucleophilic synthons derived from geminally substituted ethylene. Our novel methodology for the synthesis of only terminally substituted [3]- and [4]dendralenes, as well as 2,3-disubstituted buta-1,3-dienes, involves the preparation of 1,2-disubstituted cyclobutenes from readily available 2-bromocyclobutanone and the subsequent thermal ring-opening reactions.
