4π electrocyclisation in domino processes: contemporary trends and synthetic applications towards natural products

Abstract

Recent most instructive and reliable literature reports which deal with domino processes involving conrotatory 4π electrocyclic reactions, along with a precise mechanistic insight and latest synthetic applications towards biologically active natural products are concisely reviewed. To inspire further research in this domain, a real insight into the overarching emerging themes and potential imminent prospects is also provided.
