Substitution reactions of allylic alcohols 2 with various C-nucleophiles ar
e described; in particular, 1,2-bis(trimethylsilyl)oxy)-cyclobutene in the
presence of a Lewis acid leads to cyclobutanone derivatives which undergo a
n unusual acid-induced rearrangement affording spirocyclopropane structures
