Abstract
Zirconium-induced cyclodimerization of a variety of heteroaryl-substituted alkynes is described. This method provides a facile synthesis of tetrasubstituted cyclobutenes with high regio- and diastereoselectivity. A ligand-induced reductive elimination mechanism accounting for this novel cyclodimerization is suggested.
