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.

1 Introduction

2 [3+2]IMCC of Cyclopropane 1,1-Diester with C=O

3 [3+2]IMCC of Cyclopropane 1,1-Diester with C=N

4 [3+2]IMCC of Cyclopropane 1,1-Diester with C=C

5 [3+3]IMCC of Cyclopropane 1,1-Diester with Nitrones

6 [3+2]IMCC of Mono-donor/Mono-acceptor Cyclopropane with C=O

7 Lewis Acid Regulated Domino Cycloisomerization/[4+2]IMCC or [3+2]IMCC of Alkynylcyclopropane Ketone with C=O and C=N

8 Conclusions and Outlook

Key words
