Abstract
The Diels-Alder cycloaddition between a (hetero)diene and a (hetero)dienophile can be performed with metal Lewis Acids. Such activation often increases the rate of the reaction and has an influence on the observed selectivity. The most recent advances on metal promoted Diels-Alder reactions are reviewed.
Keywords: Diels-Alder reaction, catalysis, selectivity, asymmetric synthesis.

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
