Abstrakt: Selective lithiation of arylsulfonylbicyclo[1.1.0]butanes at the bridgehead methine and addition to carbonyl compounds yield tertiary bicyclobutyl alcohols that form spiro[3.4]octanes and related heteroatom-containing spirocycles via an acid- or halogen-mediated semipinacol rearrangement. Further synthetic transformations at the carbonyl or arylsulfone positions, in general in high yield and good chemoselectivity, allow access to acetals, difluorides, amides, and methylenecyclobutene building blocks.
