Carbon Monoxide in Organic Synthesis

A thoroughly up-to-date overview of carbonylation reactions in the presence of carbon monoxide

In Carbon Monoxide in Organic Synthesis: Carbonylation Chemistry, expert researcher and chemist Bartolo Gabriele delivers a robust summary of the most central advances in the field of carbonylation reactions in the presence of carbon monoxide. Beginning with a brief introduction on the importance of carbon monoxide as a building block in modern organic synthesis, the author goes on to describe metal-catalyzed carbonylations utilizing iron, cobalt, nickel, copper, and manganese.

Descriptions of palladium, ruthenium, and rhodium-catalyzed reactions follow, as do discussions of metal-free carbonylation processes.

The book is organized by metal to make the book useful as a guide for researchers from both academia and industry whose work touches on the direct synthesis of carbonyl compounds, carboxylic acid derivatives, and heterocycles. It aims to stimulate further discoveries in this rapidly developing field.

Readers will also enjoy: - A thorough introduction to carbonylations promoted by first row transition metal catalysts, including cobalt-catalyzed and nickel-catalyzed carbonylations - An exploration of carbonylations promoted by second row transition metal catalysts, including ruthenium-, rhodium-, palladium(0)-, and palladium (II)-catalyzed carbonylations - Practical discussions of miscellaneous carbonylation reactions, including carbonylations promoted by third row transition metal catalysts and metal-free carbonylation processes

Perfect for catalytic and organic chemists, Carbon Monoxide in Organic Synthesis: Carbonylation Chemistry is also an indispensable resource for chemists working with organometallics and industrial chemists seeking a summary of important processes used to synthesize value-added products.
