Cycloaddition Reactions in Organic Synthesis

Demonstrates the scope of cycloaddition reactions, including the Diels-Alder reaction, the ene reaction, 1,3-dipolar cycloadditions and [2+2] cycloadditions in organic synthesis. This book illustrates the ways in which they can be employed in the synthesis of carbocyclic and heterocyclic compounds, including a variety of natural products.
