Linear dialdehydes as promising substrates for aminocatalyzed transformations

Abstract

Organocatalytic domino reactions involving amine activation of carbonyl compounds have become the latest chemical technology towards the design and development of useful synthetic methods. In this direction, linear dialdehydes such as succinaldehyde, glutaraldehyde, and other homologous compounds have attracted considerable attention as suitable substrates for amine catalyzed transformations. Due to their unique structural features, dialdehydes can easily engage in recreation of cascade/tandem transformations for the synthesis of valuable natural products and drug molecules. In this review article we discuss the current scenario and potential applications of linear dialdehydes as adequate synthetic substrates for amine catalyzed transformations to access biologically important complex scaffolds.
