Transition metal-mediated cycloaddition reactions
Article Abstract:
Cycloaddition reactions are synthetic methods that are rapidly gaining applicability in organic chemistry. These reactions require the presence of heat, light, Lewis acids, high pressure and polarized functional groups in the substrate to aid transformation and achieve good yields of cycloadducts. Metal catalysts are compounds increasingly being used to promote complexation and achieve increased reactivity. An attractive feature of this strategy is enantioselective transformations upon the addition of chiral ligands. Some examples of transition metal-mediated cycloaddition reactions are presented. The discussion focuses on the sizes of rings formed rather than on the properties of reaction products.
