Synthesis of nitrogenous heterocycles using transition metal-catalysed cyclization reactions

This thesis addresses the use of two general methods involving transition-metal catalyzed cyclization for the synthesis of nitrogenous heterocycles. The amino-Heck reaction was applied to the synthesis of spiroimines, pyrroles and simple and amino acid-based imidazoles while ring-closing metathesis...
