Abstract
Ring expansion reactions fascinate synthetic chemists owing to their importance in synthesizing biologically active compounds and their efficacy in medicinal chemistry. The present review summarizes a number of synthetic methodologies, including stereoselective and regioselective pathways adopted by scientists, for framing medium- to large-size carbo- and heterocycles involving lactams, lactone, azepine and azulene derivatives via ring expansion of six-membered carbo- and heterocycles that have been reported from 2007-2022. Numerous rearrangement and cycloaddition reactions involving Tiffeneau-Demjanov rearrangement, Aza-Claisen rearrangement, Schmidt rearrangement, Beckmann rearrangement, etc., have been described in this regard.
