Ligand Platforms in Homogenous Catalytic Reactions with Metals

Practice and Applications for Green Organic Transformations

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

The selection of ligands is critical to carrying out practical and efficient reactions, and there has been an increasing desire to devise and develop greener alternatives for such chemical transformations. Chemists must consider the importance of ligands in transition metal complexes used as catalysts-- including selectivity and reactivity characteristics and how to choose different ligands in order to perform practical and efficient synthesis. Motivated by such a pressing need, this book serves as a manual for synthetic organic and catalytic chemists - guiding them in the design and choice of ligands to catalyze green organic transformations. Offering a useful resource, the authors present important industrial perspective and provide rational explanations of ligand effects, impacts, and novelty. Divided into four parts, the book covers different ligands and reactions: N-heterocyclic carbene ligands, cyclopentadienone and related functional ligands, pincer ligands, and notable miscellaneous ligands; all in transition metal catalyzed hydrogen transfer and dehydrogenative reactions. Additional features include: - Discussion of ligand selectivity/reactivity characteristics - Up-to-date discussion on hydrogen transfers and related reactions - Emphasis on ligand designs and applications necessary for more practical and efficient syntheses While scattered literature on efficient ligands for transformations exists on the topics, this book compiles the most up-to-date and necessary information emphasizing design and application under one cover
