The base-catalyzed ring opening of a number of isomeric E-and Z-benzylidenebenzocyclobutenones and -ols has been studied in both protic and aprotic solvents. Cleavage of the C1—C2 bond results in the formation of stilbenes with mainly, and at times exclusively, retained stereochemistry. For the alcohols, these results point to an oxyanion-induced carbon–carbon bond cleavage leading to a vinyl anion that is protonated with retention of configuration in the protic solvents rather than to an electrocyclic ring opening to an alkoxy o-quinodimethane. Reaction of the Z isomer of benzylidenebenzocyclobutenol with methyllithium in THF at 20 °C causes isomerization to the E isomer, cleavage of the C1—C2 bond, and recyclization of the resultant isomerized vinyl anion. Keywords: benzylidenebenzocyclobutenones, base-catalyzed ring opening; benzylidenebenzocyclobutenols, base-catalyzed ring opening.
