A Thermal cycloaddition reactions between bicyclobutanes and alkenes to form bridged bicyclic structures. B Lewis acid-catalysed cycloaddition reactions between bicyclobutanes and imines to form aza-bridged bicyclic structures. C Cycloaddition of bicyclobutanes with triazolinediones and applications in peptide modification. D Cycloaddition of bicyclobutanes with alkenes via energy transfer photocatalysis to form bridged bicyclic structures. E SmI2 catalysed insertion of alkenes into bicyclobutanes and the proposed mechanism. Tf trifluoromethylsulfonyl, PMB para-methoxy benzyl, TAD triazolinedione, Phe phenylalanine, Ala alanine, Boc tert-butoxycarbonyl, pin pinacol, Nap naphthyl, [PC] photocatalyst, EWG electron-withdrawing group.
