1,4-Electrocyclic reactions in the chemistry of four-membered carbocyclic and heterocyclic compounds (review)

  • Published:
Chemistry of Heterocyclic Compounds Aims and scope

Abstract

The electrocyclic reactions of four-atom compounds are examined. The diversity of the mechanisms of cyclizations and the synthetic utilization of 1,4-electrocyclizations of derivatives and heteroanalogs of butadiene is demonstrated. Special attention was directed to the transformation of the heterocyclic compounds.
