This volume presents work from six different groups working on
various aspects of cycloaddition chemistry. Jose Mascarenas gives
us a very interesting account of the chemistry of
&Bgr;-alkoxy-&ggr;-pyrones and related species. Al Padwa
and Chris Staub discuss further advances in rhodium carbenoid
chemistry and the unusual cycloaddition processes possible with
these intermediates. Higher order cycloadditions mediated by
transition metals highlight Jim Rigby's update on his group's
efforts in this area. Lily Lee and John Snyder present us with a
detailed account of the indole ring as a dienophile, challenging us
to consider the untapped potential in this area. Brian Keay and Ian
Hunt discuss the intramolecular Diels-Alder reactions of furan; a
report that is both top-notch science, and what could be a great
learning tool for students who need to see how fundamental chemical
principles can and should be applied to synthetic problems.
Finally, Kay Brummond introduces us to a new version of the
Pauson-Khand reactions, one that will no doubt be further exploited
in productive ways by her group well into the future.
