Classics in alkyne reactivity

Rolf Huisgen (Univ. Munich 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition (recall ozonolysis!) This is now an instrumental approach to molecular diversification en route to new molecules and new materials Referred to as “click chemistry” (Sharpless and Fokin, Scripps)

This reactivity has been used in the “enediyne” anti-cancer drugs
