Octahydroxycyclobutane (1) reacts with various monoorganoboranes to give in high yields the tetrakis derivatives 2a - d.These react with tertiary amines to yield either 1:2 or 1:4 adducts.Depending on the organo substituents at the boron atoms, alcoholyses of 2a - d result in either partial or complete deborylation giving e.g. tetraalkoxybis derivatives of the cyclobutane ring (7b, c), or, with ring-opening, dimethyl dihydroxyfumarate (5).
