Abstract
Publisher Summary This chapter highlights recent advances in the synthesis of natural products by hetero Diels– Alder cycloaddition reactions. These recent disclosures have a great impact on heterocyclic natural product syntheses. The Diels–Alder reaction is one of the most common and elegant methods for the construction of carbocyclic six-membered ring systems. Especially for the synthesis of polycyclic natural products, it presents an unrivaled opportunity for the regioselective and stereospecific introduction of multiple centers of configuration. This chapter also discusses recent reviews of Diels–Alder reactions with heterodienes which contains one or two hetero atoms. The chapter describes the utility of inter- and intramolecular [4 + 21-cycloaddition reaction using heterodienophiles of heterodienes and focuses on the synthesis of heterocyclic natural products.
