Cyclopropenes as C3 Building Blocks: Cyclopentenols and Large Rings from 2-Aminobicyclo[2.1.0]pentane Derivatives via Ring-Enlargement Reactions The readily available methyl 3,3-dimethylcyclopropane-1-carboxylate undergoes [2+2] cycloaddition with enamines to give 2-aminobicyclo[2.1.0]pentane derivatives in moderate to good yields. These compounds are quantitatively transformed into 3-cyclopentenols by treatment with dilute mineral acids. From enamines derived from medium-ring ketones and morpholine, tricyclic adducts are formed, which eliminate morpholine under flash-thermolysis conditions at 600°C to give macrocycles containing an E double bond and an allenic system.
