Abstract

This review highlights methods for the synthesis of five- and six-membered heterocycles and their annulated analogues. These methods are based on anionic domino reactions that have a common step: an SN2/Thorpe–Ziegler reaction. In addition, data on the biological activity of these heterocycles are summarized.
