Abstract: Cyclopropenones, possessing Hückel aromaticity, are three-membered cyclic compounds that serve as ideal substrates for C―C bond activation. This paper provides a comprehensive summary of the organic chemical reactions involving cyclopropenones through the β-carbon elimination pathway, thus offering valuable references for the study of transition metal-catalyzed C―C bond activation reactions and the transformation applications of cyclopropenones.

Key words: Cyclopropenones, C―C bond activation, β-Carbon elimination, Teaching method
