reversible 1, 2-addition of the proximal alkoxide to the carbonyl carbon of the four-membered ring ketone 11 opens a Grob fragmentation14 pathway to 4 and 6 via intermediate 12b. The kinetics of these synchronous fragmentations depend on the lability of both of the bonds to be broken. 16 Hence, the reluctance of 3 to cleave under conditions that caused the cleavage of 2 supports such a fragmentation mechanism since benzylicstabilization should make 12b more labile when the substituent is phenyl. Another way PBu3 could function as a nucleophilic catalyst is via 1, 2 addition of the phosphine to ketones 8 and 9 followed by a similar Grob fragmentation to the one proposed above with the subsequent loss of alkoxide from the 3 position of 12a to give acylphosphonium intermediate 13. Structure13 could have been a source of vinyl ketene 1 upon loss of the-proton. 16 However, this pathway is unlikely according to the following evidence. In a competition study of ethyl ethynyl ether and ethanol for vinyl ketene 1 under conditions of thermal cleavage of cyclobutenone 2 (85 C), ethanol trapped the ketene intermediate 1 ca. 2X faster (k-Jki= 0.49±0.03) than did the alkynyl ether17 as determined by NMR integration of the downfield signals corresponding to 14 and 5b in Scheme II. However, under conditions of the phosphine-catalyzedring opening of 2, in the presence of the alkynyl ether the same competition experiment gave 5b, but not 14. Furthermore, the vinyl ketene 1 or the acylphosphonium species 13 should have been susceptible to nucleophilic addition by hindered secondary amines; however, the presence of diisopropylamine or 2, 2, 6, 6-tetramethylpiperidine did not result in the formation of amides under conditions of the phosphine catalyzed ring opening of 2. Thus, the pathway via 12a or 12b with rapid collapse of ion pair 13 are most likely forthe phosphine-induced ring cleavage reaction of cyclobutenones.
