Reactions of Unsaturated Systems with Hexavalent Chromium

The literature data on the interaction of unsaturated compounds with hexavalent chromium reagents are surveyed. Attention is concentrated on reactions with coordination complexes of hexavalent chromium and also methods suitable for the chemospecific, regiospecific, and stereospecific oxidative generation of functional groups in highly unsaturated systems. The advances in the application of chromium(VI) in the synthesis of natural structures are described.
