This presentation details the progress of research directed towards the synthesis of medium-sized rings through transition metal-catalyzed [4+4+1] and [4+4+2] cycloaddition reactions. Related results to be presented include the elucidation of the ring-junction stereochemistry of 7-8 bicyclic carbocycles produced through a Ni-catalyzed [4+4] cycloaddition.
