Cyclization and Aryne Chemistry

This cluster of papers explores the advances in aryne chemistry and its applications in organic synthesis, including transition-metal-free reactions, natural product total synthesis, multicomponent coupling, and the use of arynes in Diels–Alder reactions. The research also delves into the synthesis of heterocycles, regioselectivities of aryne reactions, and the role of arynes in the construction of polycyclic aromatic compounds.
