Abstract

AbstractTreatment of methylenecyclopropanes (MCPs) with DIAD or DEAD in MeCN under mild conditions in the presence of Lewis acid Zr(OTf)4 gave the cyclobutanone ring‐expansion products in good to high yields based on the employed DIAD or DEAD. From a deuterium labeling experiment, the oxygen atom is derived from ambient water. (© Wiley‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, 69451 Weinheim, Germany, 2004)
