53. A. de Meijere has previously reported cycloadditions onto a unique olefin bicyclopropylidene in which the cyclobutanone was formed in a reaction between bicyclopropylidene and 4-phenyl-1,2,4-triazoline-3,5-dione (PTAD) in wet acetone: A. de Meijere, I. Erden, W. Weber, D. Kaufmann, J. Org. Chem. 1988, 53, 152. In our MCPs system, though, the reactions between MCPs and DIAD in wet acetonitrile do not take place in the absence of Lewis acid.
54. Such cyclobutanones can be formed in the reactions between MCPs and peracetic acid or MCPBA. [5a] J. K. Crandall, W. W. Conover, J. Org. Chem. 1978, 43, 3533.

71. Actually, in order to remove the effect of the quality of the solvent (MeCN), we carried out the reactions by use of distilled MeCN under ambient atmosphere for other MCPs 1. The results are summarized in Tables 3 - 5. As can be seen from these Tables, this interesting ring-expansion reaction is also reproducible for various MCPs 1.
72. The formation of diethyl hydrazine-1,2-dicarboxylate was confirmed by GLC and GC-MS. Quantitative analysis has also been carried out (see Supporting Information).
