Donor-Acceptor Cyclopropanes in the Synthesis of Carbocycles

Olga A Ivanova et al. Chem Rec. 2019 Nov.

Abstract

Donor-acceptor cyclopropanes not only participate in a broad range of ring openings with nucleophiles, electrophiles, radical and red-ox agents, but also are excellent substrates for various (3+n)-cycloaddition and (3+n)-annulation processes. Moreover, under treatment with Lewis acid donor-acceptor cyclopropanes can produce new ring systems via isomerization or cyclodimerization. Authors' contribution to the synthesis of diverse carbocycles from donor-acceptor cyclopropanes is summarized in this account.

Keywords: annulation; cycloaddition; dimerization; donor-acceptor cyclopropanes; isomerization.
