Summaryn Substituent Effects

Directing or polarizing substituents provide a means of controlling theregioselectivity and/or rendering the cyclization catalytic

n Asymmetric ReactionsBased on control of conrotation by the substrate, an auxiliary, or a chiral catalyst

n Novel PathwaysInterrupted Nazarov conserves stereocenters created by ring

closure and can construct polycyclic systems with good diastereoselectivity
