Over the past few years, substantial progress has been achieved in nitroso‐related organic chemistry. Annulation reactions of nitroso compounds with other π‐conjugated systems, in particular through the notable hetero‐Diels–Alder‐type reaction, have drawn much interest from organic chemists because of their high regioselectivities, enantioselectivities, and efficiencies. In addition, the N ‐nitroso moiety can also be employed as a powerful and transformable directing group in direct C−H functionalization reactions. Herein, we summarize recent reports on the versatile applications of nitroso compounds as useful building blocks in the selective synthesis of a diverse range of molecules.
