Abstract

Acenaphthylene-1,2-dione has been utilized in a wide range of reactions as a starting material for the synthesis of hetero- and carbocyclic compounds and complexes. This review provides a short summary of the recent advances in the application of acenaphthylene-1,2-dione in the synthesis of hetero- and carbocyclic systems and bioactive compounds. In addition, the applications of acenaphthylene-1,2-dione in the synthesis of spiro compounds, propellanes, and ligands in catalyst reactions, from 2002 to early 2018, are included.
