The development of methodologies for the construction of the odd-membered carbocycles such as five- and seven-membered ring systems has become a subject of great interest for synthetic chemists since the ring systems are found in a wide variety of natural products and theoretically interesting molecules. This review describes Brook rearrangement-mediated [3+2] and [3+4] annulation methodologies which permit highly efficient construction of five- and seven-membered carbocycles, respectively.
