title: Arynes and cyclohexyne in natural product synthesis.
abstract: This Minireview highlights recent advances in the field of aryne and cyclohexyne chemistry that have allowed the extraordinary reactivity of these entities to be harnessed during the course of natural product syntheses. The syntheses presented rely on the use of these reactive species in chemoselective transformations and follow unprecedented synthetic strategies that are inspiring for the practitioners of synthetic organic chemistry.
