2-Methyleneoxetanes were converted in excellent yields to 4-oxaspiro[2.3]hexanes under modified Simmons–Smith conditions. Treatment of the oxaspirohexanes with BF3·Et2O provided cyclopentanones, cyclobutanones or 4-methylenetetrahydrofurans, depending on the substituents.

A novel Pt-catalyzed rearrangement of oxaspirohexanes to 3-methylenetetrahydrofurans is reported. Mechanistic studies by 13C-labeling experiments confirm oxidative addition of Pt(II) regioselectively to the least substituted carbon–carbon bond of the cyclopropane to form a platinacyclobutane intermediate. To our knowledge, this is the first alkoxy-substituted platinacyclobutane that has been observed
Ring opening of 2-methyleneoxetanes with stabilized carbanion nucleophiles provides substituted ketones. The intermediate enolate can be trapped as its silylenol ether. If the 2-methyleneoxetane is exposed to more strongly basic carbanions, the corresponding homopropargylic alcohol is isolated in excellent yield. A variety of heteroatom nucleophiles also open the 2-methyleneoxetane in good to excellent yields. (C) 2002 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.

The methylenation of beta-lactones 5 with dimethyltitanocene provides a versatile, reliable, and highly chemoselective entry to 2-methyleneoxetanes 7. The conversion proceeds selectively in the presence of alkenes, unprotected alcohols, and a variety of other carbonyl moieties, A study of conditions for the optimization of this reaction is delineated. In addition, the first X-ray structure of a 2-methyleneoxetane, which shows its similarity to related p-lactones, is reported. Reactivity studies of 2-methyleneoxetanes are presented in which it is demonstrated that these compounds are attacked at C-4 with a nucleophile; then, subsequently, the resultant enolate reacted with an electrophile. An interesting dichotomy of reactivity was observed when methyleneoxetane 7c was treated with electrophiles. Reaction of 7c with acetic acid gave acetoxyoxetane 19. When 7c was exposed to bromine, dibromoketone 20 resulted.
