2. It is interesting to note, however, that there is a marked difference in their reactivity toward electrophiles; this disparity is attributed primarily to bent bonds of cyclopropanes.

Analogous results were also obtained with the minor cyclobutanone product (structure not shown) from the coupling reaction of 1 and 2 (Scheme 1): no annulation products were obtained from a 3:1 inseparable mixture of the two tert-cyclobutanols, which were prepared by addition of the methyl Grignard reagent.
