Recent advances in the synthesis, reactivity, and applications of symmetrical and asymmetrical cross-conjugated dienones
摘要
Cross-conjugated dienones are a family of organic compounds endowed with important chemical and biological properties. Their high reactivity especially as Michael acceptors, and also their interesting biological properties are highly related to their structures. This review covers the recent advances made in the synthesis methods, reactivity, and biological properties of cross-conjugated dienones and their hetero-analogs. The review summarizes the works published since 2000.
