Methods of Reactivity Umpolung

TL;DR: There are six principal methods of umpolung: 1 2n-oxidation, heteroatom exchange and modification, homologation and its reversal, the cyclopropane “trick”, use of acetylenes, and redox reactions; under certain circumstances none of these techniques is necessary in cases where direct umpoline is possible.

A new golden age for donor-acceptor cyclopropanes.

TL;DR: This Review highlights the appropriate tools for successfully employing donor-acceptor cyclopropanes in ring-opening reactions, cycloadditions, and rearrangements.

Heterocycles from cyclopropanes: applications in natural product synthesis

TL;DR: This tutorial review focuses on the latter, describing recent developments and applications of cyclopropane ring-expansion reactions in natural product synthesis and several newly developed methods providing access to densely functionalized heterocycles.

Intramolecular donor–acceptor cyclopropane ring-opening cyclizations

TL;DR: This tutorial review focalizes on new intramolecular transformations of donor-acceptor cyclopropanes for cycloisomerizations, formal cycloadditions, umpolung reactions, rearrangements and ring-opening lactonizations/lactamizations from 2009 to 2013.

Allylic Sulfoxides: Useful Intermediates in Organic Synthesis

TL;DR: Analytical chemistry, as a service-oriented discipline, is entering a transition period when many of the authors' instruments will be automated and placed online, and will require change in their skills and a significant change in the definition of their role in society.
