Abstract

In this account we have systematically described the acid-promoted intramolecular cycloadditions of activated cyclo­propanes, which were conceptually classified into intramolecular cross-cycloadditions (IMCC) and intramolecular parallel-cyclo­additions. The IMCC provided a general and efficient strategy for construction of structurally complex and diverse bridged bicyclic skeletons. The potential of this strategy has been demonstrated by the synthesis of natural products.
