Oxetene is an unsaturated heterocycle. The compound is unstableScript error: No such module "Unsubst". and has been synthesized.[1] Compared to oxetane, the saturated compound, oxetene is destabilized because the double bond increases the ring strain.Script error: No such module "Unsubst". Synthesis of some substituted derivatives has been reported.[2][3]
Oxetene is less studied than oxetane, a related compound that is the base of a number of organic molecules.[2]
Synthesis
Oxetene can be synthesised by the photochemical cyclization of acrolein:[4]
