Ring opening of donor-acceptor-type cyclopropene unveils electrophilic ketene with vinylogous [4 C + n] periselective cyclization mode

Abstract Since its advent 120 years ago, the [2+n] coupling cyclization of ketene has been prevalently used for the synthesis of N- and O-heterocycles. In contrast, its vinylogous version, i.e., use of alkenyl ketene as 4 C synthon, remain elusive. We report herein that in the rare SN1-type ring-ope...
