Abstract
A five-step, one-pot preparation of isomerically pure 3-substituted benzocyclobutenes or 5- substituted tetralins in 20–40% yield from the appropriate α-(2-fluorophenyl)-ω-iodoalkane, involving generation and subsequent 4-or 6-exo cyclization of a benzyne-tethered alkyllithium, is described.
