Donor−acceptor cyclopropanes are convenient precursors to reactive and versatile 1,3‐dipoles, and have found application in the synthesis of a variety of carbo‐ and heterocyclic scaffolds. This perspective review details our laboratory's use of donor−acceptor cyclopropanes as intermediates toward the total synthesis of various natural products. We also discuss our work in the development of novel cycloadditions and rearrangements of donor−acceptor cyclopropanes and aziridines, as well as an example of an aryne insertion proceeding via fragmentation of a transient donor−acceptor cyclobutane.
