22. Parsons and co-workers reported the intramolecular Michael-type reaction of allene derivative with a terminal carbanion species. Thus, the ring-closing reaction of dimethyl 4-methyl-6-(phenylsulfinyl)-4,5-hexadiene-1,1-dicarboxylate resulted in the formation of seven-membered oxacycles, instead of the expected carbocycles, presumably due to exo-mode closure by the oxygen atom of the methoxycarbonyl moiety at the sp-hybridized carbon center. The cyclopentane derivative, which would be anticipated by the attack of the terminal carbanion moiety in an exo-mode manner, could not be detected. Pairaudeau, G.; Parsons, P. J.; Underwood, J. M.
