I. THE SYNTHESIS OF METHYLENECYCLOBUTANE FROM PENTAERYTHRITYL CHLORIDE A new method for preparing methylenecyclobutane is described in which the starting material is pentaerythrityl tetrachloride. Pentaerythrityl chloride is dechlorinated by zinc dust in the presence of sodium iodide and sodium car...
