Abstract

The aryne and its intermediates or their precursors are the most important compounds in organic synthesis for the purpose of arynes or benzyne insertion in many reactions. Arynes are among the first reactive intermediates known to organic chemists. Since their discovery, they have fascinated chemists from both theoretical and synthetic perspectives. These remarkable intermediates possess a wide reactivity profile, engaging in the different types of reactions especially in organic chemistry fields like nucleophilic addition reactions, pericyclic reactions, [4+2] and [3+2] cycloaddition reactions and transition metal-mediated/catalyzed reactions. This methodology would also be applicable for the synthesis of biologically and pharmaceutically active products such as isocoumarins, benzodiazepines and other important compounds in one pot reactions.
