Skeletal editing involves making specific point‐changes to the core of a molecule through the selective insertion, deletion or exchange of atoms. It thus represents a potentially powerful strategy for the step‐economic modification of complex substrates and is a perfect complement to methods such as C−H functionalization that target the molecular periphery. Given their ubiquity in biologically active compounds, the ability to perform skeletal editing on – and therefore interconvert between – aromatic heterocycles is especially valuable. This review summarizes both recent and key historical examples of skeletal editing as applied to interconversion of aromatic rings; we anticipate that it will serve to highlight not only the innovative and enabling nature of current skeletal editing methods, but also the tremendous opportunities that still exist in the field.
