biologically active molecules, chemists devised
several synthetic strategies to access novel chemical
spaces. The two main strategies to construct new
scaffolds are to revisit underexploited or forgotten
reactions or to devise new transformations. We are
exploring a unique and underexploited reaction, the
Himbert–Henn cycloaddition, to produce… more
