This essay describes Ernest Wenkert's contributions to the chemistry of cyclopropanes and their use in synthesis. The impact of his work on the careers of others, especially including the development of cyclopropane‐based research in the Hudlicky group, is addressed, along with reflections on his mentorship. Personal recollections from some of his past students are provided at the end of the article.
