Cyclic 1,3-dicarbonyl heteroanalogs and their 2-aza-derivatives with one heteroatom being connected to 1-, 2-, or 3-position via an alkyl or heteroalkyl bridge can react with bifunctional reagents by a special type of ring transformation. In this process a heterocycle is formed while the substitution of the bridged heteroatom causes cleavage of the starting ring giving an ω-functionalized alkyl chain. Thus, this ring transformation opens up a convenient and versatile access to ω-functionalized alkylheterocycles.
