When heated in refluxing benzene or toluene, α-diazo β-ketophosphonates 2, prepared in three steps from aldehydes or ketones, gave rise to functionalized cyclobutenones 4 or phenolic compounds 5.These products are formed by electrocyclisation respectively of a vinyl or dienylketene, resulting from a Wolff rearrangement.
