New scaffolds for drug discovery, 6-azaspiro[4.3]alkanes, have been synthesized in two steps from four-membered-ring ketones: cyclobutanone, thienone, N-Boc-azetidinone (Boc = tert-butoxycarbonyl), etc. The key transformation was the reaction between electron-deficient exocyclic alkenes and an in-situ generated N-benzylazomethine ylide.
