Abstract:

Cyclic organic compounds play a crucial role in organic chemistry, pharmaceutical chemistry, and materials science. Among the various methods for constructing these compounds, metal-catalyzed cycloaddition and cyclization reactions stand out as powerful approaches. In recent years, scientists have made significant advancements by developing bimetallic relay catalytic systems based on the study of single-transition-metal catalytic cyclization reactions. These bimetallic relay catalytic systems have garnered immense attention due to their ability to facilitate transformations that are unattainable through individual catalytic systems alone. This paper provides a comprehensive review of the recent progress made in the synthesis of cyclic compounds through bimetallic relay catalysis over the past five years, while also offering insights into the future directions of this exciting field.
