Abstract

Cyclopropenes possess very high strain energies¹ and their organic and organometallic chemistry has been widely studied. They are reactive dienophiles in the Diels-Alder reaction,² and they undergo ring opening reactions under vigorous photochemical³ and thermal⁴ conditions.⁵ Transition metal promoted ring opening reactions of cyclopropenes occur under very mild conditions,⁶ and have also been the subject of a theoretical study.⁷
