Advances in Selected Heterocyclization Methods

Abstract

AbstractThis Account summarizes efforts in our group toward synthesis of heterocycles in the past decade. Selected examples of transannulative heterocyclizations, intermediate construction of reactive compounds en route to these important motifs, and newer developments of a radical approach are outlined.1 Introduction2 Transannulative Heterocyclization2.1 Rhodium-Catalyzed Transannulative Heterocyclization2.2 Copper-Catalyzed Transannulative Heterocyclization3 Synthesis of Heterocycles from Reactive Precursors3.1 Synthesis of Heterocycles from Diazo Compounds3.2 Synthesis of Heterocycles from Alkynones4 Radical Heterocyclization4.1 Light-Induced Radical Heterocyclization4.2 Light-Free Radical Heterocyclization7 Conclusion
