Rearrangements of cyclopropenes into five-membered aromatic heterocycles: mechanistic aspect

  • Published:
Chemistry of Heterocyclic Compounds Aims and scope

This review covers rearrangements of cyclopropenes into aromatic five-membered heterocyclic compounds, namely furans and pyrroles; accompanied by small ring cleavage proceeding in the presence of catalytic amounts of transition metals, Lewis acids, or under UV irradiation.
