Abstract
Substituted on the same carbon by an electron donating group and an adjacent multiple bond, cyclopropanes provide building blocks of unprecedented synthetic potential. They are readily available along different routes involving: cyclopropanone hemiacetals, oxaspiropentanes, alkylidenecyclopropanes, 1-heterosubstituted lithiocyclopropanes, α-enone silyl enol ethers, 1,3-dichloroacetone and 1-hydroxycyclopropylcarbonyl derivatives as main sources.
