1 Viktor Meyer (1876) doubts that they can exist at all.

2 August Freund (1882) and William Henry Perkin (1883–84) synthesize the first cyclopropanes.

3 Adolf von Baeyer (1885) rationalizes the enhanced reactivity of cyclopropaneson the basis of their inherent ring strain.

4 Since Ruzicka and Staudinger (1924) at the latest, every chemist knows that cyclopropanes exist in nature.
