Ethyl cyclobutanecarboxylate is an aliphatic cyclic carboxylate, primarily used in organic synthesis, the development of pharmaceutical intermediates and the preparation of cyclobutane derivatives. It can be used to prepare ethyl 1-bromo-cyclobutanecarboxylate[1].
Uses
Ethyl cyclobutanecarboxylate can be used in the synthesis of cyclobutylidenecyclopropane by a three-step sequence.
