Advances in the Bestmann–Ohira Reagent–Assisted Regioselective Synthesis of Substituted Pyrazoles, Triazoles, and Oxazoles

Abstract

Abstract The Bestmann–Ohira reagent serves as a versatile platform for the regioselective construction of pyrazoles, triazoles, and oxazoles via a cycloaddition reaction and multicomponent reaction. In this review, we have summarized the most significant advances in the Bestmann–Ohira reagent (BOR)–assisted construction of functionalized five–membered heterocycles reported in the literature up to 2012.
