Cycloprop-2-ene carboxylic acid
Introduction '''Cycloprop-2-ene carboxylic acid''' is a mycotoxin found in some mushrooms such as ''Russula subnigricans''.When ingested, the molecule is known to cause rhabdomyolysis.In mice, the oral  of this molecule is 2.5 mg/kg and poisoning is indicated by an increase in serum creatine phosphokinase activity. Polymerization via the ene reaction abolishes toxicity.3-(Cycloprop-2-en-1-oyl)oxazolidinones are a class of ‘unusually stable’ derivatives of cycloprop-2-ene carboxylic acid that have been synthesized by Fox ''et al''. As mentioned by Fox ''et'' ''al'', this class of ‘unusually stable’ derivatives are dienophiles when involved in a Diels-Alder reaction.
