The authors of this Review wish to clarify that, although, as reported, the first asymmetric synthesis of chiral cyclopropene derivatives was jointly reported by Doyle, Müller, and co-workers in 1992,1 the first example of a chiral cyclopropene was obtained by resolution in 1968 by Breslow and Douek.2
