THE USE OF N-HALOSUCCINIMIDES FOR CYCLIZATION WITH THE FORMATION OF FIVE-MEMBERED HETEROCYCLIC COMPOUNDS

Abstract

The review summarizes the literature data for the period 2000–2017 on the most successful use of N-halosuccinimides in the preparative synthesis of five-membered heterocyclic compounds. The review is structured in accordance with the classification of the synthesized heterocycles with one (furans, thiophenes, selenophenes, pyrroles, and their analogs), two (oxazoles, isoxazoles, thiazoles, isothiazoles, pyrazoles, imidazoles), three (oxadiazoles, triazoles), or four heteroatoms (tetrazoles). The bibliography of the review includes 117 references to literary sources.
