Abstract
We describe a two step process for the synthesis of substituted bicyclo[1.1.0]butanes. A photo-Hunsdiecker reaction generates iodo-bicyclo[1.1.1]pentanes under metal-free conditions at room temperature. These intermediates react with amine and thiol nucleophiles to afford substituted bicyclo[1.1.0]butane products.
