It has been shown that a number of different nucleophiles can be added to cyclopropenes with high diastereoselectivity. Cyclopropenes with nucleophilic moieties can dimerize. One method to perform cyclodimerization of numerous cyclopropenylmethanol derivatives with high diastereoselectivity is discussed.
