The geminal difluorocyclobutane core is a valuable structural element in medicinal chemistry. Strategies for gem-difluorocyclobutanes, especially the 2-substituted cases, are limiting and often suffer from harsh reaction conditions. Reported herein is a m

Methylenecyclopropanes (MCP) undergo ring opening reactions with group I and II metal halides and ammonium halides in liquid SO2 to afford homoallylic halides, which are versatile reagents in organic synthesis. The developed reaction conditions are compatible with acid-labile substrates such as N-Boc-protected compounds. Liquid SO2 is a polar reaction medium with Lewis acid properties that solubilizes inorganic salts. The unique properties of SO2 were demonstrated by control experiments: 1) upon performing the reactions with the aforementioned salts in conventional solvents, the MCP ring opening was not observed either in the presence of catalytic amounts of H3PO4 (similar pKa to that of H2SO3), or in the absence of H3PO4; 2) a solution of SO2 in THF exhibited similar properties to that of liquid SO2.

We herein report a general organocatalytic enantioselective strategy for the construction of highly strained spiro[2,3]hexane skeletons from methylenecyclopropanes and a broad selection of α,β-unsaturated aldehydes. The reaction proceeds through a Michael addition followed by ring expansion of methylenecyclopropanes and nucleophilic attack of an enamine to realize the construction of spiro[2,3]hexanes. Key to the success of this approach are the utilization of an electron-deficient difluoro-substituted secondary amine catalyst and the intrinsic reactivity of methylenecyclopropanes.
