✦ Synopsis

The concept of antiaromaticity was introduced by Breslow (2) to account for the extraordinarily slower rates of hydrogen-deuterium exchange in cyclopropene derivatives having hydrogen activating groups in the 3-position compared with model cyclopropyl systems.

Although these kinetic results infer instability of
