Abstract
AbstractA large variety of dienes and alkenes can be derived from plants and used further for the production of fine chemicals or biologically active compounds. Herein, we have identified such dienes/alkenes, as well as their synthetic analogues, and presented a strategy for their conversion by atom‐economical cycloaddition reactions. The catalyst used for these conversions is derived from abundantly‐available aluminum metal in earth's crust, which has low toxicity, easy availability and low price in comparison to the transition metals. Astonishingly, the applications of aluminum‐based catalysts are underdeveloped in comparison to the d‐block metal analogues. Therefore, this review summarizes the developments in the field of cycloaddition reactions by using aluminum‐based catalysts, a pathway that can be pursued for developing “Sustainable Processes”.
