Journal ArticleDOI
Stereospecific Reactions of Donor-Acceptor Cyclopropanes with Thioketones: Access to Highly Substituted Tetrahydrothiophenes.
TL;DR: Highly substituted tetrahydrothiophenes with two adjacent quaternary carbon atoms were obtained in a stereospecific manner under mild conditions and in high yield when using AlCl3 as Lewis acid.
Journal ArticleDOI
Formal Insertion of Thioketenes into Donor-Acceptor Cyclopropanes by Lewis Acid Catalysis.
TL;DR: A broad scope of 2-substituted tetrahydrothiophenes with a semicyclic double bond was obtained under mild conditions with high functional group tolerance and in excellent yield.
Journal ArticleDOI
Reactions of Donor-Acceptor Cyclopropanes with Naphthoquinones: Redox and Lewis Acid Catalysis Working in Concert
TL;DR: Treatment of 2-arylcyclopropane dicarboxylates with naphthoquinones with base under oxidative conditions resulted-through loss of methyl formate-in cyclopentannulated products with fully conjugated π systems exhibiting intensive absorptions in the visible range.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: The use of these highly strained three-membered entities paved the way to innovative and origi... as mentioned in this paper, and the use of cyclopropanes has gained increased momentum over the past two decades.
Journal ArticleDOI
(4 + 3)-Cycloaddition of Donor-Acceptor Cyclopropanes with Thiochalcones: A Diastereoselective Access to Tetrahydrothiepines.
TL;DR: Under mild conditions various tetrahydrothiepines were synthesized in good yields in a stereospecific reaction with high functional group tolerance.
