Abstract

The intramolecular Schmidt reaction was first described at the beginning of the 1990s and rapidly proved to be a powerful tool for the fast assembly of complex nitrogen-containing heterocycles. This review focuses on the application of this reaction in the synthesis of natural products and other biologically relevant compounds.
