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

Synthesis

Oxetene can be synthesised by the photochemical cyclization of acrolein:[4]
