title: Copper-catalyzed domino reactions for the synthesis of cyclic compounds.
abstract: Copper-catalyzed domino reactions are one of the most useful strategies for the construction of various cyclic compounds. In this Synopsis, we mainly focus on the latest advances in copper-catalyzed cross-coupling or addition-initiated domino reactions in the synthesis of cyclic compounds, including double alkenylation of N- or S-nucleophiles, alkenylation or alkynlation followed by cyclization of amides or amines, addition and cyclization of heteroallenes affording heterocycles, and coupling and cyclization of 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds toward heterocycles.
