Carbocycles from donor–acceptor cyclopropanes

TLDR
This review summarizes research directed towards the formation of carbocyclic adducts from donor-acceptor cyclopropanes and focuses on annulation and cycloaddition reactions mediated by Lewis or protic acid, bases, or thermal conditions.
Abstract
This review summarizes research directed towards the formation of carbocyclic adducts from donor–acceptor cyclopropanes. The focus of the review is on annulation and cycloaddition reactions (both inter- and intramolecularly) mediated by Lewis or protic acid, bases, or thermal conditions. Rearrangements resulting in carbocycles and those reactions mediated by transition metal catalysis have been excluded.

Lewis Acid Catalyzed Formal Intramolecular [3 + 3] Cross-Cycloaddition of Cyclopropane 1,1-Diesters for Construction of Benzobicyclo[2.2.2]octane Skeletons.

TL;DR: A novel Lewis acid catalyzed formal intramolecular [3 + 3] cross-cycloaddition (IMCC) of cyclopropane 1,1-diesters has been successfully developed and supplies an efficient and conceptually new strategy for construction of bridged bicyclo[2. 2.2.2]octane skeletons.

Asymmetric Synthesis of Enantioenriched 2-Aryl-2,3-Dihydrobenzofurans by a Lewis Acid Catalyzed Cyclopropanation/Intramolecular Rearrangement Sequence

TL;DR: A Michael addition-initiated cyclopropanation/intramolecular rearrangement of in situ generated ortho-quinone methides (o-QMs) was developed for enantioselective synthesis of 2-aryl-2,3-dihydrobenzofurans containing two consecutive chiral centers including a quaternary carbon.

Ag(I)-Catalyzed Indolization/C3-Functionalization Cascade of 2-Ethynylanilines via Ring Opening of Donor-Acceptor Cyclopropanes.

TL;DR: A AgSbF6-catalyzed cascade involving the ring opening of donor-acceptor cyclopropanes (DACs) preceded by the cyclization of N-protected 2-ethynylaniline is described, revealing a step-economy route to 2,3-disubstituted indole, where a Ag catalyst is found to trigger the cascade by activating both alkyne and DACs.

B(C6 F5 )3 -Catalyzed Ring Opening and Isomerization of Unactivated Cyclopropanes.

TL;DR: Catalytic amounts of B(C6 F5 )3 promote the ring opening and subsequent isomerization of a series of unactivated cyclopropanes to afford terminal olefins in good yields when a hydrosilane and 2,6-dibromopyridine are employed as additives.
