title: Synthesis of 1,3-Substituted Cyclobutanes by Allenoate-Alkene [2 + 2] Cycloaddition.
abstract: A method for the [2 + 2] cycloaddition of terminal alkenes with allenoates is presented. This process allows for the rapid synthesis of 1,3-substituted cyclobutanes in high yield under simple and robust reaction conditions.
