11. In many of the early examples, a methyl group, used as the second substituent, precluded observation of stereomutation and ring enlargement of the cis isomers by preemption by a faster homoretroene reaction.

42. Relatively, the retroene reaction has been slowed enough in this cyclobutane system to allow observation of the stereochemistry of ring enlargement from the cis isomer despite the presence of the methyl group at C2.
