Recent advances in the synthesis and transformations of heterocycles mediated by fluoride ion activated silanes

Abstract

Modern methodologies of preparation and transformation of three-, four-, five- and six-membered heterocycles from silanes in the presence of fluoride ion have been reviewed. Characteristic reactions in side chains of heterocyclic compounds were presented. Syntheses of large sized heterocyclic compounds are also included. The literature data published from January 2006 to December 2009 are included in this review.
