Catalytic nitrene transformations to N-containing molecules through direct C—N bond formation have experienced a dramatic development in the last decades. Although a variety of nitrene precursors have been disclosed under the corresponding catalytic conditions, which play a principal role in the synthesis of nitrogen-containing molecules with structural complexity, the types of nitrene transfer reactions mainly limited to the amination, aziridination, sulfimidation, and few others. In this area, reviews focused on different nitrene precursors, catalytic strategy (or metal catalysts), and challenging synthesis have been well-documented. In this review, the catalytic approaches of nitrene addition with alkynes, mainly nitrene/alkyne metathesis cascade reactions are outlined, which provide expeditious access to polycyclic, fused, and spiro N-heterocycles with structural diversity.

Key words: nitrene, α-imino carbene, N-heterocycle, nitrene/alkyne metathesis, cascade reaction
