The peculiar reactivity at methylene group combined with the structural diversity of these classes of compounds is still attracting the interest of scientific community for the development of new and effective methodologies both asymmetric and non-asymmetric. The versatility of these molecules is well highlighted by several recent applications in Michael reactions, aldol additions, in tandem processes etc. or in the synthesis of valuable compounds both under organo- and metal catalysed conditions. On the basis of these considerations, the aim of this issue is to review recent applications of active methylene compounds focusing on the aspects of the personal research interests of the authors. The contributions can be preferably accounts of personal research work combined with a review of the recent literature.

Abstract
The peculiar reactivity at methylene group combined with the structural diversity of these classes of compounds is still attracting the interest of scientific community for the development of new and effective methodologies both asymmetric and non-asymmetric. The versatility of these molecules is well highlighted by several recent applications in Michael reactions, aldol additions, in tandem processes etc. or in the synthesis of valuable compounds both under organo- and metal catalysed conditions. On the basis of these considerations, the aim of this issue is to review recent applications of active methylene compounds focusing on the aspects of the personal research interests of the authors. The contributions can be preferably accounts of personal research work combined with a review of the recent literature.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
