1,3-Dipolar cycloadditions: applications to the synthesis of antiviral agents

Carmen Nájera and José M. Sansano


In the present perspective the advances and real possibilities of 1,3-dipolar cycloadditions as key steps in the total synthesis of virus inhibitors are described. Azides, nitrones, and azomethine ylides are the most appropriate 1,3-dipoles for the synthesis of privileged structures with the highest biological responses against viruses.
