Heterocycles as Moderators of Allyl Cation Cycloaddition Reactivity
For the rapid elaboration of polycarbocyclic scaffolds, prevalent in many important families of terpenoid natural products, allyl cations derived from simple heterocyclic alcohols can be used as versatile reaction partners in both (4+3) and (3+2) cycloaddition pathways. Our recent progress in this area is outlined, pointing towards the untapped potential of heterocycles to act as reagents in novel or known but challenging organic transformations.1 Heterocyclic Reagents2 Cycloadditions and Allyl Cations3 Furfuryl Cations in Cycloadditions4 Heterocycle-Substituted Cations in Cycloadditions5 Mechanistic Considerations6 Conclusions and Outlook
