Stereoselective transition metal-catalyzed and radical polycyclizations.
This short review presents a selection of metal-mediated and radical polycyclizations reported during the past two years. Palladium-catalyzed domino processes, cobalt-mediated cycloadditions and Pauson-Khand reactions catalyzed by rhodium are described. Ruthenium and platinum are shown as powerful metal catalysts in cyclizations, ring-closing metathesis and cycloisomerizations. Finally, recent examples of radical cascades, and their synthetic applications, are selected for their ability to build polycyclic compounds.
