Advances in transition-metal mediated heterocyclic synthesis

This volume provides an overview of recent catalytic reactions involving transition metals to produce heterocyclic compounds.

It is organised according to the type of transformation used to achieve the synthesis of the heterocyclic systems (mainly aza- and oxa-heterocycles).

As such, it covers recent applications on the synthesis of heterocycles, also describing the details of the novel transformations in a didactic manner to motivate readers in search of new catalytic processes.

The editors have included state-of-the-art strategies, including transition-metal reactions involving unsaturated systems (reactions of allenes, new gold(I)-catalysed reactions, and Prins reaction).
