Cyclopropane Strain and Reactivity
Cyclopropane has significant ring strain.
Cyclopropanes have pi character.
Coulson-Moffitt ModelBent Bonds
Walsh Model
Ring Strain ~ 27.5 kcal/mol
Alkenes and Cyclopropanes
“Virtually every reaction that an alkene undergoes has its counterpart in the repertoire of transformations possible with cyclopropanes.”

Conclusions
Cyclopropanes can be utilized as homo-alkenes to prepare heterocycles
A facile two-step procedure has been developed to prepare oxepanes with excellent stereoselectivity
Further substitution and alternate heterocycles are being explored
Radical cyclization promises another method to deliver heterocycles from cyclopropanols
