cyclopropanederived
Cyclopropanederived refers to chemical entities that are built on or contain the cyclopropane ring, or that incorporate motifs and fragments stemming from cyclopropane chemistry. In practice the term is used for cyclopropane-containing compounds, cyclopropyl groups, cyclopropylidene units, and cyclopropane-fused structures that appear in synthesis, medicinal chemistry, and materials science.
Structural and chemical characteristics of cyclopropane-based motifs include a highly strained three-membered ring that influences stereochemistry,
Synthesis and transformations commonly associated with cyclopropanederived compounds include cyclopropanation of alkenes using carbenes or carbenoids
Applications and significance center on the use of cyclopropanederived motifs to constrain molecular geometry, influence binding
