Synthesis of seven and higher-membered heterocycles using ruthenium catalysts

Abstract

A wide variety of biological activities are possessed by nitrogen, oxygen, and sulfur containing heterocycles and many methods are explored for the preparation of these heterocyclic compounds. Metal catalysts are used in organic reactions with high activity. The synthesis of heterocycles with the help of metal catalysts became very important in organic synthesis. New protocols have been investigated for the synthesis of heterocycles in the last decades. In present review article I have concentrated on the synthesis of seven and higher-membered heterocylces in the presence of ruthenium catalyst.
