The Synthesis of Heterocycles from Vinylacetylenes or Diacetylenes and Nitrogen-containing Dinucleophiles

Data on the reactivities of acetylenes substituted by conjugated electron donors or acceptors in heterocyclisation reactions with nitrogen-containing dinucleophiles are surveyed, the influence of the structure of the acetylenic component on the nature of the interaction is analysed, and the characteristics of the mode of intramolecular and intermolecular nucleophilic attack are discussed.
