alpha-Ester-substituted 1,3-dienylphosphonates 7 and 8, prepared by th
e Knoevenagel condensation, underwent intramolecular [2 + 2] cycloaddi
tion in the presence of Lewis acid to form bicyclo[4.2.0] (26-57% yiel
d) and bicyclo[3.2.0]skeleton (14-38% yield), respectively. Similar tr
eatment of homologous 1,3-dienylphosphonate 11 and 1,3,5-trienylphosph
onate 12 resulted in the formation of ionone derivatives (30-94% yield
). The intramolecular cycloaddition reaction was applicable to several
conjugated dienes bearing an eater group.
