Thermolysis Reactions of Strained Compounds: Mechanistic Interpretation and Synthetic UseActual applications of thermolysis reactions in organic synthesis are described with emphasis on pericyclic reactions of small ring hydrocarbons such as cyclopropanes (vinylcyclopropanes, 1,2-divinylcyclopropanes), cyclobutanes, cyclobutenes, and benzocyclobutenes. Several examples for the application of retro Diels-Alder reactions for the preparation of reactive intermediates as well as for the synthesis of interesting target molecules are given.
