Synthesis and chemical transformations of 2,3-dihydropyrrole-2,3-diones annelated on the [a] side by azaheterocycles. (Review)

Data on methods for the synthesis of 2,3-dihydro-2,3-pyrrolediones condensed with azaheterocycles on the a] side are reviewed. Their reactions with nucleophilic reagents, allylboronation, reduction, and thermal transformations are discussed. __________ Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 1, pp. 3–25, January, 2006.
