Benzofulvenes were widely found in natural products and bioactive molecules, and also served as important building blocks in material science and transition-metal chemistry. Great efforts have been devoted to the efficient synthesis of these interesting molecules, and rapid advancement has been made in the past two decades. According to the types of the initiation of the reaction, these methods can roughly be classified into five categories:thermal or photochemical cyclization of enyne-al-lenes or enediynes, transition metal-catalyzed sequential cyclization reaction, electrophilic or nucleophilic attack initiated cyclization, radical initiated cyclization and acid promoted cyclization. This review describes the important synthetic methods of benzofulvenes according to their reaction types.
- benzofulvenes,
- transition metal catalysis,
- radical,
- C—H bond activation,
- cyclization reaction
