This research aims to explore the dimerisation of aryl-substituted bicyclobutanes and their reactivity in various catalytic environments.
Conducted dimerisation experiments using Lewis and Brønsted acids as catalysts.
Optimised conditions for producing distinct dimers.
Utilised detailed analysis to investigate the reaction mechanisms.
Identified new modes of reactivity for bicyclobutanes under different catalytic conditions.
Demonstrated varying efficiencies of Lewis and Brønsted acids in promoting dimerisation.
Outlined structural characteristics of distinct dimers formed.

Implication

Dimerisation reactions reveal a novel reactivity in bicyclobutanes, suggesting new catalytic strategies.

Abstract

We present a detailed investigation of dimerisation reactions involving bicyclo[1.1.0]butanes (BCBs), catalysed or mediated by Lewis or Brønsted acids. The study is supported by optimisation experiments for distinct dimers and...
