The ring-opening reaction of fluorinated oxetanes by halides, including alkylidene oxetanes and spirocyclic oxetanes, was highly stereoselective and directed by the presence of a fluorine atom. This reaction allowed a stereoselective preparation of tetrasubstituted alkenes and substituted pyrrolidines containing all-carbon quaternary centers. Theoretical calculations were performed to shed light on experimentally observed regioselectivity in the opening of oxetane derivatives.

The presence of a small spirocyclic ring at an adjacent position alters the conformational preference for equatorial substitution in six-membered rings. DFT calculations and low-temperature H NMR experiments demonstrate that alkyl groups larger than methyl possess negative A-values when geminal to a spirocyclopropane, with larger groups such as isopropyl and -butyl being exclusively axial at -78 °C. Similar effects are found for heteroatoms, including halogens, and for a range of other electron-withdrawing substituents.

We combine the effects of spirocyclization and hyperconjugation to increase the Diels-Alder reactivity of the 4-pyrazole scaffold. A density functional theory (DFT) investigation predicts that 4-pyrazoles containing an oxetane functionality at the saturated center are extremely reactive despite having a relatively high-lying lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO) energy.

A temperature-regulated catalyst-free photoinduced selective carbene C-H insertion strategy was realized to efficiently synthesize spiro--lactones and -lactams, which hold considerable promise in drug discovery programs. The reaction shows broad applicability across a range of α-diazo esters and amides with various ring sizes and substituents and has been demonstrated to successfully achieve the late-stage spirocyclization of natural/bioactive compounds. The obtained products could be transformed into spiro-oxetanes, -azetidines, and -cyclopropanes, privileged scaffolds with broad utility in medicinal chemistry.
