Abstract

The ketenimines represent an interesting class of organic intermediates which has undergone a regrowth as a consequence of recent extensions of copper catalyzed azide alkyne cycloaddition (CuAAC) to other synthetic fields. This review summarizes the most recent generation methods of ketinimines from CuAAC reaction, highlighting chemical properties focused to the synthesis of cyclic compounds among others, affording a general outlook towards the development of new biologically active compounds.
