Oxetene
Chemical compound
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Oxetene is an unsaturated heterocycle. The compound is unstable[citation needed] and has been synthesized.[1] Compared to oxetane, the saturated compound, oxetene is destabilized because the double bond increases the ring strain.[citation needed] Synthesis of some substituted derivatives has been reported.[2][3]
