This review describes the development of enantioselective methods for the ring opening of
cyclopropanes. Both approaches based on the reaction of nonchiral cyclopropanes and …

Due to the synergistic “push–pull” effect of vicinal electron‐donating and electron‐
withdrawing groups, donor–acceptor (D‐A) cyclopropanes have been recognized as one of …

Ring-opening transformations of donor–acceptor cyclopropanes (DAC) with carbon-
centered nucleophiles is a simple, straight-forward approach to 1, 3-bifunctional compounds …

Catalysts and ligands possessing the great ability to tolerate over a wide range of
mechanistically unrelated reactions are remarked as" privileged", which are rather scarce …

Abstract The first example of (3+ 3)‐annulation of two different three‐membered rings is
reported herein. Donor‐acceptor cyclopropanes in reaction with diaziridines were found to …

A facile approach for the synthesis of enantiopure γ-amino nitriles by copper-catalyzed
aminocyanation of arylcyclopropanes is disclosed, which undergoes the highly …

MgI2-catalyzed nucleophilic ring-opening reactions of donor–acceptor cyclopropanes with
indoline-2-thiones as easy-to-handle sulfur nucleophiles were investigated. A series of …

An efficient catalytic asymmetric ring-opening reaction of donor–acceptor cyclopropanes
with primary arylamines was developed. The reaction was achieved through the utilization of …

The design of various cycloaddition/annulation processes is one of the most intriguing
challenges in the development of donor‐acceptor (D–A) cyclopropane chemistry. In this …

The first Lewis acid and chiral Brønsted acid cooperatively catalyzed asymmetric cascade
ring opening/aza-Piancatelli rearrangement reaction of furyl-substituted donor–acceptor …
