Natural Compounds Containing a Condensed Cyclopropane Ring. Natural and Synthetic Aspects

Abstract

The carbon-carbon double bond offers a possibility to incorporate a cyclopropane ring into a molecule. The special electronic nature of the cyclopropane ring can significantly change the electronic and biological properties of the new derivatives. Herein we present natural compounds containing a fused cyclopropane ring and natural compounds condensed with a cyclopropane ring synthetically. Keywords: Biological activity, cyclopropanation, cyclopropane ring, natural compounds.
