Abstract
This review describes the reactions of α/β-mercaptoalkanoic acids as building blocks for the synthesis of heterosteroids, polyfunctional heterocycles with pharmacological interest. Annelated heterocycles have been prepared by the cyclocondensation reaction of α- and β-mercaptoalkanoic acids with carbonyl compounds. This reaction takes place by nucleophilic addition, followed by cyclization with elimination of water. The main objective of this survey is to provide a comprehensive account of this reaction type in building various heterocycles, and examining their potential in developing better chemotherapeutic agents.
