Abstract
Methylenecyclobutanes undergo a lithiation reaction in the presence of n-BuLi or n-BuLi/KOtBu from −78 °C to room temperature or to 40 °C in THF within 3 h and then quenching with a variety of electrophiles to give the corresponding addition products (alcohols) in moderate to good yields within 2 h.
