The Nazarov cyclization of divinyl ketones gives access to cyclopentenones. Replacing one of the vinyl groups by a cyclopropane leads to a formal homo-Nazarov process for the synthesis of cyclohexenones. In contrast to the Nazarov reaction, the cyclization ...

The first method for the [3 + 2] annulation of donor acceptor aminocyclopropanes with aldehydes is reported. The reaction is catalyzed by iron trichlorlde on alumina in yields up to 99% and with excellent cis selectivities (up to >20:1) and represents a st ...

The first enantiospecific [3+2] annulation of D-A amino-cyclopropanes with ketones is reported herein (see scheme; Phth = phthaloyl). The reaction is catalyzed by 5 mol % of tin(IV) chloride at -78 °C and gives aminotetra-hydrofurans bearing a C5-quaternar ...

Cyclization and annulation reactions initiated by ring-opening of small rings, especially cyclopropanes and cyclobutanes are now well-established in synthetic chemistry. Nevertheless, the potential of aminocyclopropanes and cyclobutanes, an important subcl ...
