Transition Metal Catalyzed Carbonylation Reactions [electronic resource] : Carbonylative Activation of C-X Bonds / by Matthias Beller, Xiao-Feng Wu.

Introduction -- Hydroxy, Alkoxy and Aminocarbonylation of C-X bonds -- Reductive carbonylations -- Carbonylative coupling reactions with organometallic reagents -- Carbonylative Sonogashira reactions -- Carbonylative C-H activations -- Carbonylative Heck reactions -- Oxidative carbonylation reactions -- Reaction of C-NO2 with CO -- Applications in total synthesis -- A discussion between carbonylation, noncarbonylation and decarbonylation -- Outlook.

Transition Metal Catalyzed Carbonylation Reactions is a comprehensive monograph focusing on carbon monoxide usage. This book provides students and researchers in organic synthesis with a detailed discussion of carbonylation from the basics through to applications. The authors have structured the book around the types of reactions, based on the different nucleophiles involved. Scientists working in carbonylation or with carbon monoxide, as well as teachers of organic synthesis can use this book to become familiar with this important area of organic chemistry.
