Transition Metal Complexation in 1,3-Dipolar Cycloadditions

Abstract

Transition metal complexation of organic molecules is becoming common in the field of 1,3-dipolar cycloadditions as a successful methodology to increase reactivities and to control selectivities.The literature data on this subject are here reviewed in a systematic way as a function of the different dipoles and principally of the stoichiometric or catalytic role of the metal containing reactants.
