Abstract
The diyl trapping reaction has been applied as the key step in the ass embly of a variety of ring systems. An overview of the various modes o f reactivity of the trimethylenemethane (TMM) diyl is presented, detai ling both the mechanistic features affecting selectivity as well as se veral applications directed towards the Synthesis of a variety of natu ral products. Also highlighted are two new areas of focus, atom transf er and diyl-induced vinylcyclopropane ring opening.
