Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="main" xml:lang="en"> <title>Abstract</title> <p>Substituted 3‐alkyloxycyclobutanones are highly valuable intermediates in organic synthesis, which demonstrate interesting and rich reactivity in different types of reactions due to the strain energy. Under Lewis acid catalysis, 3‐alkyloxycyclobutanones can form zwitterionic intermediates and participate in a series of cycloaddition reactions as three‐ or four‐carbon synthons. This Focus Review will mainly discuss formal [4+2], [3+2], and [3+3] annulations as well as other types of transformations with 3‐alkyloxycyclobutanones.</p> </abstract>
