Synthesis of Heterocycles Through Classical Ugi and Passerini Reactions Followed by Secondary Transformations Involving One or Two Additional Functional Groups

Chapter
First Online:
Part of the Topics in Heterocyclic Chemistry book series (TOPICS, volume 23)

Abstract

The combination of classical isocyanide-based multicomponent reactions (Ugi and Passerini) with a variety of post-condensation transformations, which take advantage of suitably positioned additional functional groups, allows the straightforward synthesis, often in 1–2 synthetic steps, of many diverse nitrogen-containing heterocycles. This review will cover all the applications of this strategy reported to date (September 2009).

Keywords
