Abstract

It has been a very active year in the arena of heterocyclic chemistry. Particular highlights include the use of N-bromosuccinimide to promote aziridination of alkenes by Chloramine-T, the first report of an aldehyde catalyst for the Oxone® mediated epoxidation of alkenes, asymmetric variants of the Kinugasa β-lactam synthesis reported by Tang and Fu, Gabrielle's comprehensive study of the 5-endo-dig cyclisation of aminoynenes to form tetrasubstituted pyrroles, Zard's report of an amidinyl radical approach to imidazolines and Woodward's direct synthesis of cyclic sulfates from alkenes.
