This report highlights the investigation and synthetic utility of base-promoted irreversible cyclization, a transition-metal-free approach for the synthesis of valuable intermediates and biologically active compounds. The critical role of the base, the mechanism involving highly reactive isocyanate, and the redox-neutral nature of this reaction are discussed. Further reading on the topic is also provided.
