To a solution of oxetan-3-one (118) (5 g, 69.4 mmol) in CH2Cl2 (50 mL) at 0° C. was added ethyl 2-triphenylphosphoranylideneacetate (119) (26.6 g, 76.3 mmol). The solution was allowed to warm to RT and stirred for 15 min. The reaction mixture was then filtered through a pad of silica (washing with 30 percent EtOAc:Petrol ether), and the solvent removed under reduced pressure to give ethyl 2-(oxetan-3-ylidene)acetate (120) as a colourless viscous oil (8.15 g, 57.4 mmol, yield: 79%). ESI-MS (M+1): 142 calc. for C7H10O3 142.
