Aring forming reactionorring-closing reactioninorganic chemistryis an umbrella term for a variety of reactions that introduce one or moreringsinto a molecule. Aheterocycle forming reactionis a reaction that introduces a newheterocycle.[1][2] Important classes of ring forming reactions includeannulations[3]andcycloadditions.Heterocyclic compounds are useful in spectroscopic identification of compounds, purity criteria, and investigating the molecular electronic structures.[4]
