Organocatalytic activation of cyclopropanes in asymmetric synthesis

Cyclopropanes are strained carbocycles that can undergo ring opening reactions in which one of the C–C bond present cycle is broken following a radical or ionic mechanism. Recently, organocatalysis has emerged as convenient tool for promoting these ring-opening processes under very mild reaction conditions and allowing unconventional preparation interesting compounds starting from differently substituted cyclopropanes. In this review, we different developed field organocatalytic activation manifolds have been employed to trigger event.
