Syntheses of polyfunctional benzene derivatives from both cyclic and acyclic non-aromatic precursors are reviewed. Such aromatizations include transformations that use Diels – Alder reactions, transition metal-catalyzed reactions, base mediated aldol or Michael addition reactions or electrocyclic and pericyclic reactions. This review is limited to research that has been published since the last reviews in 2006, 2008, 2015 and 2018 and is specifically focused on aromatic and heteroaromatic compounds synthesized by construction of the benzene ring. It excludes heterocyclic compounds that lack a monocyclic benzene core. Applications of such aromatization reactions for the total syntheses of natural products as well as potential medicinal chemical entities are included.

The bibliography includes 155 references.

综述了从环状和非环状非芳族前体合成多官能苯衍生物的方法。这种芳构化包括使用 Diels-Alder 反应、过渡金属催化反应、碱介导的羟醛或迈克尔加成反应或电环和周环反应的转化。本综述仅限于自 2006 年、2008 年、2015 年和 2018 年上次综述以来发表的研究，特别关注通过构建苯环合成的芳族和杂芳族化合物。它不包括缺乏单环苯核心的杂环化合物。包括这种芳构化反应在天然产物的全合成以及潜在的药用化学实体中的应用。
