Abstract

Cycloaddition reactions have emerged as rapid and powerful methods for constructing heterocycles and carbocycles. [3+2] Cyclo­additions of nitroalkenes with various 1,3-dipoles have been an interesting research area for many organic chemists. This review outlines the synthesis of N-substituted and NH-1,2,3-triazoles along with other five-membered N-heterocycles through cycloaddition reactions of nitro­alkenes.
