Stereoselective Cyclopropanation Reactions

TL;DR: This review will focus mainly on the new methods that have appeared in the literature since 1989 for stereoselective cyclopropanation reactions from olefins: the halomethylmetal-mediated cycloalkane reactions, the transition metal-catalyzed decomposition of diazo compounds, and the nucleophilic addition-ring closure sequence.
