Annulation and Directing Group Strategies as Tools for the Construction of Heterocycles

Abstract

The contents of the thesis have been divided into four chapters with initial one as introductory and the rest of the chapters are based on experimental results obtained during the research period. The introductory chapter of the thesis is a summary of alkyl isocyanoacetate’s reactivity and its usefulness in diverse (3 + n) annulation/cycloaddition reactions. Along with this, a brief description of the directing group (DG) strategy for the functionalization of C−H bond has also been added. A brief account of the formation of important heterocyclic scaffolds following annulation/cycloaddition and DG-assisted C−H activation has been included.
