Abstract
A review of synthetic methodologies reported in the last five years that yield N-heterocyclic products by intramolecular cyclization of organic azides with a particular emphasis on transformations catalyzed by metal complexes is presented. These reactions have been classified according to the ring size of the formed heterocycle.

Catalytic C-H bond activation as a tool for functionalization of heterocycles
The major topic is the functionalization of heterocycles through catalyzed C-H bond activation. The strategies based on C-H activation not only provide straightforward formation of C-C or C-X bonds but, more importantly, allow for the avoidance of pre-functionalization of one or two of the cross-coupling partners. The beneficial impact of ...read more
