Intermolecular Addition Reactions of N-Acyliminium Ions (Part II)¹

Abstract

This review highlights the advances in the literature up to July 2008 on the intermolecular reactions of acyclic and cyclic N-acyliminium ions. This is an update of an earlier review in 2000 oil this topic and does not include intramolecular addition reactions to N-acyliminium ions which was recently reviewed. This review is presented in two parts, with the first part having dealt with acyclic and pyrrolidinone-based N-acyliminium ions. Part II continues with other five-membered heterocyclic derivatives and higher systems.
