Recent Developments in the Chemistry of Heteroaromatic N-Oxides

Selected developments in the chemistry of heteroaromatic N-oxides since 2001 are presented in this review. The use of these N-oxides, both in late-transition-metal-catalyzed oxidations of carbon-carbon triple bonds and in regioselective C-H functionalizations of the heteroarene, are contemporary topics of interest and the focus of the discussion.
