Multisubstituted
Cyclobutane 4c
A solution of EtMgCl (2.0 M solution
in THF, 0.5 mL, 1.0 mmol) was added to a solution of 1a (105
mg, 0.2 mmol) in THF (4 mL) at -78 ˚C with stirring
under Ar atmosphere. The reaction mixture was slowly allowed to
warm to 0 ˚C. To the reaction mixture was successively
added Cu(I) iodide (4 mg, 0.01 mmol) and allyl iodide (0.09 mL,
1 mmol), and the reaction mixture was stirred at 0 ˚C for
1 h. The reaction was quenched by adding sat. aq NH4Cl,
and the whole was extracted with CHCl3. The product was
purified by silica gel column chromatography to give 4c (54
mg, 64%) as colorless oil. IR (neat): 3027, 2923, 2855,

Synthesis of Benzylidenecyclobutane
5a
A solution of EtMgCl (2.0 M solution in THF, 0.25
mL, 0.5 mmol) was added to a solution of 1a (105
mg, 0.2 mmol) in THF (2 mL) under Ar atmosphere at -78 ˚C
with stirring to generate cyclobutylmagnesium carbenoid 2a. To another flame-dried flask, THF (1.5
mL) and n-BuLi (0.6 mmol) were successively
added. To this was added a solution of benzyl phenyl sulfone (139
mg, 0.6 mmol) in THF (0.5 mL) at 0 ˚C to give the lithium α-sulfonyl
carbanion as a light yellow solution. This solution was cooled to -78 ˚C
and transferred to the solution of the carbenoid 2a through
a cannula. The reaction mixture was stirred and slowly allowed to
warm to -20 ˚C, and the reaction was quenched with
sat. aq NH4Cl. The whole was extracted with CHCl3, and
the product was purified by silica gel column chroma-tography to
afford 5a (73.1 mg, 83%) as colorless
oil. IR (neat): 3026, 2942, 2858, 1680, 1601, 1496, 1113, 911, 742, 698
