Department of Organic and Inorganic Chemistry, University of Alcala , 28871 Alcala de Henares, Madrid, Spain.
Azonia aromatic heterocycles are an important subclass of aza-heterocyles as they are the structural motif of relevant cationic alkaloids, and they have a wide range of potential applications such as bioactive compounds and organic materials. In this Synopsis, recent and novel approaches to their synthesis are surveyed, with particular emphasis on ring-closing metathesis reactions and annulation reactions based on C-H activation.
