Recent Advances on Annulation Reactions with Allyl and Propargyl Sulfonium Salts

Abstract

Allyl and propargyl sulfonium salts are readily available reagents that have recently emerged as versatile building blocks for the assembly of cyclic skeletons. As an alternative to classical sulfonium salts, allyl and propargyl sulfonium salts can be converted into the corresponding vinyl sulfur ylide or allenic sulfonium salt intermediates that contain diverse nucleophilic or electrophilic reactive positions, thereby enabling a great variety of annulation reactions. In this short review, we provide a comprehensive overview of the recent developments in this growing field by summarizing annulation reactions involving allyl and propargyl sulfonium salts.

1 Introduction

3 Annulations with Propargyl Sulfonium Salts

4 Conclusion

Key words

allyl sulfonium salts - propargyl sulfonium salts - sulfur ylides - allenyl sulfonium salts - annulation reactions
