Abstract
The goal of this short review is to provide an overview of the different synthetic methodologies applied along the years for the synthesis of bullvalenes, prototypical fluxional molecules that were key in the understanding of valence tautomerism phenomena. Some interesting applications of these unique shapeshifting compounds are also presented.
1 Introduction
2 Classical Syntheses of Bullvalenes
