For example, acetylacetone on treatment with an alkali metal or an alkali metal alkoxide or carbonate forms a mono-anion which can be alkylated with alkyl halides. In 1958, Hauser and Harris reported that, if benzoylacetone or acetylacetone is first converted to the dipotassium salt. The salt undergoes alkylation and other carbon-carbon condensations at the terminal methyl group rather than at the methylene group. Rapid alkylation was observed when the salts were treated with benzyl chloride and after acidification, the terminal monobenzylation derivatives were obtained in good yield. Dibenzylation was not observed. In this chapter alkylations of these and other beta-ketones via dianions are surveyed. Other alkylations are also discussed. Arylations are included because alkylation and arylation are methods for directly converting beta-homologs without increasing their functionality. \u0000 \u0000 \u0000Keywords: \u0000 \u0000gamma-arylation; \u0000gamma-alkylation; \u0000dianions; \u0000beta-carbonyl compounds; \u0000acetylacetone; \u0000beta-ketones; \u0000keto-aldehydes; \u0000keto-esters; \u0000dicarbonyl compounds; \u0000alkyl halides; \u0000alkylation; \u0000ammonia; \u0000experimental procedures","PeriodicalId":19539,"journal":{"name":"Organic Reactions","volume":"19 1","pages":"155-212"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-03-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87070362","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The establishment of cyclobutane structure proved an example of waxing and waning in the interpretation of organic reactions. Many studies were done and they are discussed. A breakthrough came with the discovery by DuPont that octafluorocyclobutane can be formed readily by thermal dimerization of tetrafluoroethylene. Several developments followed. The cycloaddition illustrates two important points. First, fluorinated alkenes may add to non-fluorinated unsaturated compounds much more readily than they dimerize. Second, when fluorinated alkenes are given a choice between four- and six-membered rings, as is possible with a conjugated diene, the formation of the four-membered ring is favored.
