Donor–Acceptor Cyclopropanes in Organic Synthesis

Donor-Accepted Cyclopropanes, or DACs, have attracted a resurgence of interest from organic chemists in recent decades for their role in facilitating various reactions such as cycloadditions, annulations, ring-opening and enantioselective transformations. The structural arrangement of DACs leads to milder, simpler reaction conditions, which have made them indispensable for a range of fundamentally and industrially important processes.
Donor-Acceptor Cyclopropanes in Organic Synthesis covers comprehensively the chemistry and applications of this compound class. The result is an invaluable guide for any researcher looking to bring DACs to bear in their own areas of research or development.
