Skeletal editing reactions would provide a valuable but relatively unexplored synthetic strategy for straightforward and flexible access to the biologically active molecules. Focusing on recent progress in ring-contraction reactions of heterocyclic compounds, two approaches are presented: 1) activation of aliphatic amine leading to the loss of nitrogen, and 2) photo-mediated activation of α-acyl saturated heterocylces.
