Acetylene systems present a new route to cyclic compounds as analternative to more traditional methods employed in classicalorganic chemistry. The synthesis of cyclic structures based onacetylene systems has important applications in the formation ofnanostructures, naturally occurring compounds and chemosensorymaterials for the design of nonlinear optics, electronic andphotonic devices.
Alkynes in Cycloadditions presents a modern review ofregioselective synthesis of aromatic and non-aromatic carbocyclicand heterocyclic ring systems based primarily on [2+2+2] and [4+2]cycloadditions, and other reactions of acetylenic units includingenediynes and enyne-allenes.
Topics covered include:
* New strategies for the formation of aromatic and polynuclearhydrocarbons based on (Z)-hex-3-en-1,5-diyne and(Z)-hepta-1,2,4-triene-6-yne blocks.
* One-step synthesis of benzene derivatives, beta-substitutednaphthalenes and acenes by the cycloaromatization of enediynes andenyne-allenes by Bergman, Myers-Saito and Shmittel.
* Mechanisms of cycloaromatization resulting in the formation offulvene and indene systems.
* Heterocyclization involving enyne-carbodiimides.
* New achievements in classical cycloaddition reactions such asthe Diels-Alder condensation with acetylenic dienophiles and [2+2]cycloadditions with acetylene components
Alkynes in Cycloadditions presents a comprehensivesummary of the literature on methods for the synthesis of ringsystems from acetylenes for academic researchers working in thefields of organic synthesis, physical organic chemistry,organometallic chemistry, catalysis, materials science,nanomaterials and biochemistry.
