Opening of the ring of five-membered aromatic heterocycles under the influence of bases (review)

  • Published:
Chemistry of Heterocyclic Compounds Aims and scope

Abstract

The review is devoted to a discussion of the various mechanisms of dehydration of five-membered aromatic heterocycles under the influence of bases; this reaction can be used in many cases for the synthesis of hard-to-obtain polyunsaturated acyclic compounds.
