Tandem cycloisomerization-cycloaddition reaction

Intramolecular Reaction of 1,6-Dienes, -Enynes, and -Diynes Cycloisomerization, Tandem Addition-Cyclization, and Cycloaddition... 

As 1,/2-alkenes, 1,6-derivatives are used very frequently leading to five-membered heterocycles, while the use of 1,7-derivatives, which produce six-mem-bered heterocycles, is very rare. The reactions of 1,6-dienes, -enynes, and -diynes are classified into three groups (a) cycloisomerization, (b) tandem addition— cyclization, and (c) cycloaddition, such as the Pau-son—Khand reaction, cyclotrimerization, and the Diels—Alder reaction (Scheme 15).97 In these reactions five-membered heterocycles are constructed upon the carbon—carbon bond-forming processes.
