Abstract

On consideration of the abundance of rings in organic compounds, synthetic methods leading to cyclic structures are of obvious importance in organic synthesis.'In principle, the cyclic structures may be constructed either by cyclization of acyclic precursors, whereby one bond is formed, or by cycloaddition reactions in which two or more bonds are simultaneously formed. The Dieckmann2 and the acyloin cyclizations3 are most commonly used for the ...
