Abstract
The Cloke-Wilson rearrangement of unsymmetrical β-diketone-derived cyclopropanes inevitably yields a mixture of two 4-acylated 2,3-dihydrofuran regiomers. By using alkynes as masked acyls, Tf2NH-promoted Cloke-Wilson rearrangement of polysubstituted 1-(1-alkynyl)cyclopropyl ketones followed by alkyne hydration is described, regioselectively affording 2,3-dihydrofurans bearing 4-acyls nonequivalent to that involved in the Cloke-Wilson rearrangement. The 2,3-dihydrofuran rings with cis 2,3-diaryls are unexpectedly more stable than their trans diastereomers under the reaction conditions, guaranteeing the regiospecificity of this hydrative Cloke-Wilson rearrangement with high fidelity.

Abstract
The importance of intramolecular constraints in cyclic transition-state geometries is especially pronounced in n-endo-tet cyclizations, where the usual backside approach of a nucleophile to the breaking bond is impossible for the rings containing less than eight atoms. Herein, we expand the limits of endo-tet cyclizations and show that donor-acceptor cyclopropanes can provide a seven-membered ring via a genuine 6-endo-tet process. Substrates containing a N-alkyl-N-arylcarbamoyl moiety as an acceptor group undergo Lewis acid-induced cyclization to form tetrahydrobenz[b]azepin-2-ones in high yields. The reaction proceeds with the inversion of the configuration at the electrophilic carbon. In this process, a formally six-membered transition state yields a seven-membered ring as the pre-existing cycle is merged into the forming ring. The stereochemistry of the products can be controlled by the reaction time and by the nature of Lewis acid, opening access to both diastereomers by tuning of the reaction conditions.

Abstract
Due to its unique structure and the vast array of substituents that can be attached to its core, Meldrum's acid is a molecule with exceptional chemical properties. In water, it has a remarkably low pKa value of about 4.9. Its C5 position is readily involved in electrophilic substitution reactions whereas the C4 and C6 positions are easily attacked by nucleophiles. At elevated temperatures Meldrum's acid undergoes distinctive decomposition pathways, which can be used in cycloaddition and acylation reactions. In this Tutorial Review, the authors intend to introduce the principles of the synthetic chemistry of Meldrum's acid and provide the essential knowledge for the design and preparation of compounds with desired properties. As there are many reviews focusing on a specific detail of Meldrum's acid chemistry, we would like to give a broader picture of this diverse molecule for undergraduate and graduate students as well as experienced lab leaders. For achieving this goal, some recent advances in using Meldrum's acid derivatives in synthetic scenarios are presented with the hope to further stimulate and promote research leading to additional innovative applications of this synthetically highly relevant molecule.
