Transition Metal‐Catalyzed Transformations of Oxa/Aza Bicyclic Alkenes

Abstract Transition metal‐catalyzed transformations of bridged‐ring bicyclic alkenes have emerged as an interesting area of synthetic chemistry in the last two decades. Due to their multiple points of reactivity, bicyclic alkenes, especially oxa / aza ‐bicyclic alkenes, can participate in a variety annulation/functionalization reactions catalyzed by transition metals. In this review, a wide range of transition metal‐catalyzed C−H activation/addition of bicyclic alkenes with nucleophiles is described.
