Abstract

An account of our development of reactions to construct N-heterocycles by triggering cyclization–migration tandem reactions from aryl azides, nitroarenes, and aryl amines is described. The reactivity patterns of metal N-aryl nitrenes, nitrosoarenes, N-aryl nitrogen radical anions, and N-aryl nitrenoids are compared.
