Heteroarene-tethered functionalized alkynes are multipotents ynthons in organic chemistry.T his detailed Review described herein offers at horough discussion of the metamorphosis of heteroarene-tethered functionalized alkynes, an area which has earned much attention over the past decade in the straightforward synthesis of architecturally complex heterocyclics caffolds in atom and step economic manner.D epending upon the variety of functionalized al-kynes, this Review is divided into multiple sections. Amongst the vast array of synthetic transformations covered, dearomatizings pirocyclizations and cascades pirocyclization/rearrangementa re of great interest. Synthetic transformations involving the heteroarene-tethered functionalized alkynes with scope, challenges, limitations, mechanism, their application in the total synthesis of natural products and future perceptionsa re surveyed.
