Abstract
Vicinal difunctionalization reactions have been extensively exploited in synthetic organic chemistry providing rapid, convergent access to complex structures in a stereocontrolled fashion. Examples of these reactions are numerous;1 classical reactions such as Diels–Alder, [2 + 2] and 1,3-dipolar cycloadditions (Volume 5), epoxidation–functionalization of alkenes,2 carbenoid additions to alkenes3 and the additions of acyl4 and alkyl5 halides to alkenes, using Friedel–Crafts catalysts, have been joined by many new reactions of considerable synthetic potential, including, for instance, inverse electron demand Diels– Alder reactions6 and radical cyclization–trapping (Volume 4, Part 4).
