Summary.
The preparation of β-isothiocyanatoketones and their reactions leading to formation of pyrimidine and bicyclic, tricyclic, tetracyclic, and pentacyclic heterocyclic compounds are reviewed. A few references concerning the rearrangement of heterocyclic compounds are also included. Some of the compounds reported have shown good antiinflammatory activity.
