Question

How can X be prepared from a constitutional isomer by a series of [2 + 2] cycloaddition reactions? Interest in molecules that contain several cyclobutane rings fused together has been fueled by the discovery of pentacycloanammoxic acid methyl ester, a lipid isolated from the membrane of organelles in the bacterium Candidatus Brocadia anammoxidans. The
role of this unusual natural product is as yet unknown.
