A highly regio- and stereoselective formation of bicyclo[4.2.0]oct-5-ene derivatives through thermal intramolecular [2 + 2] cycloaddition of allenes.

J. Org. Chem. 72 , 4378, (2007)

Thermal [2 + 2] cycloaddition of allenes with an additional multiple bond is described. By simply heating the allenenes or allenynes having a three-atom tether in an appropriate solvent such as dioxane or DMF, the distal double bond of the allenic moiety regi...
