Cyclobutene, prepared by base-induced elimination from tosyloxycyclobutane 19 undergoes cycloaddition with ethyl propiolate in the presence of AlCl3 to provide ethyl bicyclohex-2-ene-2-carboxylate 20.This cycloadduct at room temperature and in the presence of AlCl3 undergoes forbidden ring opening into ethyl cyclohexa-1,3-diene-2-carboxylate 21.The cycloaddition of cyclobutene with dichloroketene provides 3,3-dichlorobicyclohexan-2-one 24 and after reductive halogen removal the endo 3-chloro bicyclohexan-2-one 28 (the first study of this strained system).However, further dechlorination of 28 results in rearrangement and fragmentation reactions.
