Ring expansion of vinylaziridines through the strain-release pericyclic reaction: recent developments and applications.
Recent syntheses of azetidines, pyrrolidines, piperidines and azepines through cycloaddition or sigmatropic rearrangements of vinylaziridines are described. Applications to natural product synthesis and mechanistic investigations are also summarized.
