Transition-Metal-Catalyzed Reactions in Heterocyclic Synthesis

摘要

Heterocyclic compounds are worth our attention for many reasons;chief among them are their biological activities,and many drugs are heterocycles.Therefore,organic chemists have been making extensive efforts to produce these heterocyclic compounds by developing new and efficient synthetic transformations.Among a variety of new synthetic transformations,transition-metal-catalyzed reactions are some of the most attractive methodologies for synthesizing heterocyclic compounds,since a transition-metal-catalyzed reaction can directly construct complicated molecules from readily accessible starting materials under mild conditions.
