β¦ Synopsis
The 3-or 4-halopyridines and a ketene dialkyl acetal were shown to permit the synthesis of pyrido[b]cyclobutene derivatives. This finding constitutes the first published report of cycloadditions involving an olefin and a 3,4-pyridyne partner. The reaction is totally regioselective and the structure of the cycloadduct is determined unambiguously by NMR experiments.

## Abstract 2,2βDialkoxyβ3,4βdihydropyrans (3) can be obtained under mild conditions and in good yields from ketene acetals (1) and Ξ±,Ξ²βunsaturated carbonyl compounds (**2**) in the presence of ZnCl~2~. At low temperatures (< β20Β°C) the reaction between **1** and **2** proceeds as a (2 + 2)βcycload
