title: Pentannulation of Heterocycles by Virtue of Precious Metal Catalysis.
abstract: Pentannulated heterocycles are the key structural subunit of many natural and biologically active compounds. Over the last decades, many precious metal-assisted pentannulations have been described as a consequence of an extensive research. This Focus Review gives an overview of precious metal-catalyzed reactions applied to the synthesis of cyclopenta-fused heterocycles in the last five years.
