Abstract
Cyclobutyl phenyl sulfide 2, cyclobutyl phenyl sulfoxide 3 and ( SR)-cyclobutyl p-tolyl sulfoxide (SR)- 8 have been synthesized and used for the spiroannelation of cyclopentanone. In the most effective sequence, lithiated 3 is added to ketones with formation of β-hydroxy sulfoxides 4a-g, which are ring enlarged and hydrolyzed to cyclopentanones 6a-e and sulfanylcyclopentene 6f, respectively, after reduction to β-hydroxy sulfides 5a-f. In an asymmetric version using (SR)- 8 , partial racemization during ring enlargement was observed.
