[3 + 3]-Cycloaddition of Donor–Acceptor Cyclopropanes with Nitrile Imines Generated in Situ: Access to Tetrahydropyridazines

TL;DR: Donor-acceptor cyclopropanes are reacted under the influence of a Lewis acid with hydrazonyl chlorides to afford tetrahydropyridazines and the structure of a typical product was confirmed by X-ray crystallography.

Asymmetric Ring-Opening of Cyclopropyl Ketones with Thiol, Alcohol, and Carboxylic Acid Nucleophiles Catalyzed by a Chiral N,N'-Dioxide-Scandium(III) Complex

TL;DR: A highly efficient asymmetric ring-opening reaction of cyclopropyl ketones with a broad range of thiols, alcohols and carboxylic acids has been first realized by using a chiral N,N'-dioxide-scandium(III) complex as catalyst.
