Abstract
Cyclopropenone is a valuable electrophilic reagent that can react with electrophilic reagents, nucleophilic reagents, free radicals, organic metals, etc. Furthermore, cyclopropenone derivatives have shown significant biological activity in various diseases, such as triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC), melanoma, and alopecia areata (AA). The cyclopropenone analogue diphenylcyclopropenone (DPCP) has been approved for the treatment of AA. Given the potential therapeutic benefits of cyclopropenone derivatives, this review aims to systematically summarize the structures, synthesis routes, and potential pharmacological functions of cyclopropenone analogues in the hope of offering novel insights for further rational design of more drugs based on the cyclopropenone skeleton for the treatment of human diseases.

Abstract
Presented herein is a novel synthesis of indenone-fused pyran derivatives via the cascade reactions of aryl enaminones with cyclopropenones. The formation of products involves a one-pot cascade procedure consisting of aryl C-H bond and enamine C-H bond functionalization along with C-C bond cleavage of cyclopropenone and 1,3-rearrangement of the in situ-formed allylic alcohol moiety followed by intramolecular O-nucleophilic addition and Me2NH elimination. To our knowledge, this is the first synthesis of indenone-fused pyran derivatives via simultaneous formation of both indenone and pyran scaffolds through concurrent unsymmetrical relay C-H bond activation and double C-C/C-O bond formation. Moreover, the usefulness of this method is further showcased by its suitability for large-scale synthetic scenarios and diverse transformations of products.

Abstract
Polysubstituted acrylamides are ubiquitous in bioactive molecules and natural products. However, synthetic methods for the assembly of these important motifs remain underdeveloped. Herein, we report the expedient synthesis of structurally diverse and synthetically challenging polysubstituted acrylamides from readily available aromatic amines, cyclopropenones (CpOs), and aryl halides via the synergistic merging of nucleophilic phosphine-mediated amidation and palladium-catalyzed C-H arylation. The reaction is scalable, and some obtained acrylamides proved to be solid state luminogens with obvious aggregation-induced emission (AIE) properties, demonstrating the synthetic potential in drug discovery and material development.

Abstract
We developed a pyridine-catalyzed annulation of diaryl cyclopropenone with bromomethyl carbonyl compounds leading to 5-carbonyl furan-2(5H)-ones. Pyridinium, derived from the reaction of bromomethyl carbonyl and pyridine, triggered the reaction by the inter-molecular Michael addition to cyclopropenone. This procedure was sensitive neither to air nor moisture and proceeded at room temperature with broad substrate scopes and good functional group tolerance in moderate-to-good yields. As such, it represents a facile and practical pathway leading to 5-carbonyl furan-2(5H)-one derivatives.

Abstract
We developed a phosphine-catalyzed ring-opening reaction of cyclopropenones with dicarbonyl compounds as C-nucleophiles, leading to 1,3,3'-tricarbonyl compounds. During this neutral procedure, C-acylation is more dominant than O-acylation. This transition-metal free procedure features mild and neutral reaction conditions with good atom economy. As such, it represents a facile pathway to access 1,3,3'-tricarbonyl derivatives.

Abstract
Cyclopropenone (HCCOCH, "CPN") is an exotic quasi-aromatic cyclic carbene that abounds in the interstellar medium (ISM). Astronomical observations suggest that (i) stagnate CPN exhibits a tendency to polymerize and that (ii) interactions may occur between CPN and water that is also ubiquitous in the ISM. In this light, density functional theory investigations reveal cooperative hydrogen bonding, which leads to stable polymeric conformations of (CPN)n, tracked up to n = 14. Stable agglomerations with water, however, constitute at best only two CPN and two water molecules, signifying that while CPN exhibits remarkable cooperativity for "cohesive" clustering via hydrogen bonding, this tendency is markedly diminished for "hetero"-interactions. Multifaceted data are employed to probe cogent molecular descriptors, such as structure and energetics of various conformers, vibrational spectroscopic response, molecular electrostatic potential (MESP), effective atomic charges: all these, in unison, describe the evolution of the characteristics upon cluster formation. Salient stretching frequency shifts, as well as charge redistribution gleaned from MESP morphology, have a direct bearing on variegated hydrogen bonding patterns: linear, nonlinear, as well as bifurcated. In particular, characteristic C-H, C═O stretching, and O-H vibrations in the water complexes reveal a "softening" (downshift) of frequencies. While small conformers have markedly distinct MESP variations, the differences become less pronounced with incremental clustering, an effect substantiated by corresponding emergent atomic charges.
