33. 13 we observed very low levels of enantioselectivity in synthesis of 3-aryl-substituted cyclopropenes. However, selected examples indicate highly enantioselective cyclopropenation in a case of 3-carbomethoxy derivatives (see Table 1).

35. The C-2 site of indolizine is unfunctionalizable position and a substituent must be introduced prior to cyclization (see ref 15).
