Co-ordination: Gertrud Adelmann Office of the Dean Faculty of Chemistry and Pharmacy Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München Butenandtstr. 5–13 (Haus F), 81377 München Print: REPRODUKT digital GmbH Freisinger Landstraße 21 80939 München Part of RCOM gruppe www.rcom-gruppe.de III Dear Reader: The last two years have seen a lot of exciting research and a rich academic life at our faculty. The success of our faculty members has been rewarded with publications in leading scientific journals, prestigious awards and high-level grants. This report documents the activities of the faculty in its mission to advance the sciences. We are particularly proud of our achievements in the second round of the German Excellence Initiative. The excellence cluster Center for Integrated Protein Sciences Munich (CIPSM) was renewed and, with the graduate school Quantitative Biosciences Munich (QBM), we brought a second excellence program to the faculty. Members made seminal contributions to the success- ful renewal of the excellence cluster Nanosystems Initiative Munich (NIM) as well as to other initiatives. The renewal or establishment of collaborative research clusters, research units, grad- uate research training programs as well as numerous individual grants from the German Re- search Council and several prestigious ERC grants further demonstrated the innovative research in our laboratories. Universitas magistrorum et scholarium – the success of our research is not possible without the excellent work of our students and postdocs. -

Professor Huisgen was professor emeritus at the University of Munich in Germany, and studied in detail the mechanism of the 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reaction, significantly expanding its scope. Even though he did not discover this reaction, it was through his studies that it became important in organic synthesis. Indeed, in honor of his work, the reaction became known as Huisgen’s cycloaddition and it has been consolidated as a useful method for the preparation of five-membered heterocyclic compounds. Considering these facts, in this review we provide an overview on the applications of 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reactions, starting with the seminal examples in the field and further discussing the most recent applications.
