A highly stereoselective synthesis of tetrasubstituted olefins bearing a trifluoromethyl group via the thermal 4 pi electrocyclic ring-opening reaction of oxetenes, simply prepared by the Pd-catalyzed [2+2] cycloaddition reaction of various alkynes with trifluoropyruvate, is achieved. In this reaction process, the trifluoromethyl group prefers inward rotational torquoselectivity because of the orbital interactions between the breaking C-O sigma orbital on the oxetene moiety and the C-F sigma* orbital in the transition state.
