Monosubstituted cyclopropenes and syn-disubstituted cyclopropanes are important intermediates for natural product synthesis. This poster will describe new methods to make monosubstituted cyclopropenes by desymmetrization and syn-disubstituted cyclopropanes by difunctional zinc addition. Both of these reactions start with acetylene, the simplest alkyne.
