Cyclohexane‐1,3‐dione and its derivatives are imperative precursors in synthetic organic chemistry as they are useful intermediates for the synthesis of a wide range of biologically active natural products, heterocycles and pharmaceuticals. Recently, cyclohexane‐1,3‐diones have been used for the synthesis of varied array of six‐membered nitrogen‐containing heterocycles in the presence of aldehydes, acetoacetic esters, malononitrile, chalcones, coumarins, acetophenones, amino acids, amines, etc. under catalytic and non‐catalytic conditions. Newest studies on the importance of these heterocycles motivated us to compile all the recently developed processes which include the fabrication of six‐membered nitrogen heterocycles. This article is mainly focused on the efficient synthesis of six‐membered N‐heterocycles i. e. 1,4‐dihydropyridine, acridine‐1,8‐diones, benzoacridinones, quinolones and pyridine derivatives from cyclohexane‐1,3‐diones as one of the substrates, published for the last ten years.
