Application of Transition Metal Catalysts in Organic Synthesis
Description
The present book may be considered as a continuation of our laboratory manuals dealing with the chemistry of acetylenes, allenes and polar organometallics. It contains a number of experimental procedures for the catalytic use of copper, nickel and palladium compounds in organic synthesis based on methods described in literature and carried out by the authors of this book and their coworkers. The original plan was to cover a much broader field of transition metal chemistry, but this was soon dropped as being too ambitious. It would take too much time and effort to become familiar with all experimental methods in the extensive field of transition metal-catalyzed organic synthesis, a necessary condition to develop reliable procedures. The authors therefore decided to restrict themselves to sub-fields in which some experience had been acquired in our laboratory. The various methods are exemplified with procedures on a preparative scale, usually 50 or 100 mmolar, using normal laboratory glassware and reagents and starting compounds which are either relatively cheap or readily preparable. In addition, literature surveys of the various subjects are given.
