Synthesis of Heterocyclic Rings 7 (Cycloaddition Reactions)
A cycloaddition is a pericyclic chemical reaction, in which "two or more unsaturated molecules (or parts of the same molecule) combine with the formation of a cyclic adduct in which there is a net reduction of the bond multiplicity." [1] pericyclicchemical reaction [1] a pericyclic reaction is a type of organic reaction wherein the transition state of the molecule has a cyclic geometry,organic reactiontransition state

1,3-Dipolar Cycloaddition Reactions
Resonance Structures of 1,3-Dipoles Each molecule has at least one resonance structure which indicates separation of opposite charges in 1,3- relationship.
Mechanism of Cycloaddition: 1,3-Dipolar cycloaddition reactions were found to be stereoselective.
Most of them are regioselective.
Orbital picture of 1,3-dipoles and dipolarophiles
Concerted mechanism: one step mechanism in which two bonds are formed at the same time (Huisgen)
Biradical mechanism (Stepwise mechanism) (Firestone)
Regiochemistry: orbitals of the same size interact
