Abstract
This review encompasses addition reactions of cyclopropenes proceeding with retention of the small ring as well as cascade transformations involving ring-opening. Formal nucleophilic substitution of halocyclopropanes operating via a dehydrohalogenation-addition mechanism with the formation of cyclopropene intermediates is also discussed. Relevant literature published in the period of 2005-2015 is surveyed.
Keywords: Cyclopropanes, cyclopropenes, nucleophilic addition, nucleophiles, strain release.

Catalytic C-H bond activation as a tool for functionalization of heterocycles
The major topic is the functionalization of heterocycles through catalyzed C-H bond activation. The strategies based on C-H activation not only provide straightforward formation of C-C or C-X bonds but, more importantly, allow for the avoidance of pre-functionalization of one or two of the cross-coupling partners. The beneficial impact of ...read more
