Abstract

Various heterocyclic systems based on natural and unnatural biologically active products were synthesized by Br?nsted acid-promoted cyclization. We have made an attempt to summarize the progress made in this area during the period 2005 to 2015. This article describes the synthetic routes of these heterocycles that involve a Br?nsted acid-promoted cyclization as a crucial step or Br?nsted acids as co-catalysts with other transition metals.
