Abstract

Transition-metal-catalyzed cascade cyclization initiated by intramolecular alkyne hydroamination has received considerable attention over the past decade and has been widely used in the rapid construction of a diverse array of valuable complex N-heterocycles. Recent progress in this area is reviewed with an emphasis on the cheap and environmentally benign copper-catalyzed cascade cyclization of terminal alkynes.
