Abstract
Highly strained bicyclo[1.1.0]butyl boronate complexes, which were prepared by reacting boronic esters with bicyclo[1.1.0]butyl lithium, react with a wide range of electrophiles to form a diverse set of 1,1,3-trisubstituted cyclobutanes with high diastereoselectivity via difunctionalization of the strained central C-C σ-bond of the bicyclo[1.1.0]butyl unit.
