Recent Developments in Acenaphthoquinone-Based Multicomponent Reactions: Synthesis of Spiroacenaphthylene Compounds.

This review characterizes the multicomponent reactions of acenaphthoquinone as building blocks for the synthesis of a variety of heterocyclic compounds with medicinal chemistry interest. There is a wide range of reactions that include acenaphthoquinone in the synthesis of heterocyclic compounds. Also this review gives an overview spirocyclic compounds has important applications in pharmacological during the period from 2000 to 2017. Spiro compounds having cyclic structures fused at a central carbon are of recent interest due to their interesting adjustable overall qualities and their structural implications on biological systems.
