Abstract
We describe here (2+2) cycloaddition reaction of alkyl enol ethers with acrylates catalyzed by triethylsilyl triflic imide (Et3SiNTf 2), which was in situ generated from triethylsilane and triflic imide. The reaction efficiently provides substituted cyclobutanes bearing alkoxy function in a stereoselective manner.
