2 Introduction to tal-catalyzed Cycloadditions Definition of Cycloaddition: -A reaction of two separate! systems in which a ring is formed with two more " bonds and two fewer! bonds than the reactants cycloaddition cyclization ote: As an exception to the above definition, in certain cases one of the! systems can be a reactive " bond Cycloadditions have been promoted by heat, light, ewis acids, high pressure, and sonication Many of these conditions require the presence of polarized functional groups in the substrate to facilitate the transformation. In general reaction of unactivated olefins, acetylenes, or dienes is notoriously poor and extreme conditions are necessary to achieve good yields of cycloadducts tal catalysts provide new opportunities for highly selective cycloaddition reactions since complexation of a metal to a reactant significantly modifies its reactivity, thus allowing for improved reactivity and novel chemistry It should be emphasized that while the products of these reactions are clearly cycloadducts, most if not all reactions proceed in a stepwise fashion and probably involve a cyclization as a key event autens, Chem. ev., 1996, 96, 49.
