While photochemically promoted intramolecular alkene [2+ 2] cycloadditions are routinely used in the synthesis of complex molecular architectures, 1 related metal-catalyzed [2+ 2] cycloadditions of tethered alkenes have not been described. 2, 3 To date, metal-catalyzed alkene [2+ 2] cycloadditions have been restricted to the intermolecular reaction of strained alkene (norbornadienes or methylenecyclopropanes) and electron-deficient alkene partners, typically using zero-valent nickel catalysts. 4 More recently, chiral Lewis acids have been shown to catalyze the enantioselective intermolecular [2+ 2] cycloaddition between electron deficient alkenes and vinylsulfides or thioketene acetals. 2c In this account, we present the first intramolecular metal-catalyzed [2+ 2] cycloaddition of alkenes. This methodology allows for the facile construction of substituted bicyclo [3.2. 0] ring systems in diastereomerically pure form.Diastereoselective (diketonato) metal-catalyzed aldol and Michael cycloreductions recently were reported from our labs. 5 In the course of optimizing the Michael cycloreduction of bis-enones 1a and 2a, the following observations were made. Whereas Michael cycloreduction represents the exclusive reaction pathway when 2.4 equiv of phenylsilane are used, reactions conducted in the presence of 1.2 equiv of phenylsilane gave comparable amounts of cycloreduction and, remarkably,[2+ 2] cycloaddition products. Attempts were made to optimize the [2+ 2] cycloaddition manifold. Further decreasing the amount of phenylsilane did not substantially alter the product ratio and resulted in diminished yields of both products. In the absence of silane, no reaction was observed. Alternative silane sources were screened for their capacity to induce selection of the [2+ 2] cycloaddition pathway. Optimal yields of the [2+ 2] cycloadducts 1b and 2b were obtained with 4.0 equiv of phenylmethylsilane in the
