The Chemical Transformations of C1 Compounds A comprehensive exploration of one-carbon molecule transformations The chemistry of one-carbon molecules has recently gained significant prominence as the world transitions away from a petroleum-based economy to a more sustainable one. In The Chemical Transformations of C1 Compounds, an accomplished team of chemists delivers an in-depth overview of recent developments in the field of single-carbon chemistry. The three-volume book covers all major C1 sources, including carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, methane, methanol, formic acid, formaldehyde, carbenes, C1 halides, and organometallics. The editors have included resources discussing the main reactions and transformations into feedstock chemicals of each of the major C1 compounds reviewed in dedicated chapters. Readers will discover cutting-edge material on organic transformations with MeNO2, DMF, DCM, methyl organometallic reagents, CCl4, CHCl3, and CHBr3, as well as recent achievements in cyanation reactions via cross-coupling. The book also offers: Thorough introductions to chemical transformations of CH4, methods of CH4 activation, chemical transformations of CH3OH and synthesis alkenes from CH3OH Comprehensive explorations of the carbonylation of MeOH, CH2O in organic synthesis, organic transformations of HCO2H, and hydrogen generation from HCO2H Practical discussions of the carbonylation of unsaturated bonds with heterogeneous and homogeneous catalysts, as well as the carbonylation of C(sp2)-X bonds and C(sp3)-X bonds In-depth examinations of carbonylative C-H bond activation and radical carbonylation Perfect for organic and catalytic chemists, The Chemical Transformations of C1 Compounds is also an ideal resource for industrial chemists, chemical engineers, and practitioners at energy supply companies.

Transition Metal-Catalyzed Heterocycle Synthesis via C-H Activation

Heterocyclic chemistry constitutes the largest branch of chemistry, covering almost two-thirds of literature in the field. In addition, around 90% of naturally-occurring molecules have heterocycles as their core structure. Therefore, as a central part of organic chemistry, the discovery of new methodologies in synthesizing heterocyclic compounds is essential to their continued application and development. Transition metal catalysts offer a low cost and often low toxicity pathway for heterocycles synthesis, while the use of noble metals represents an alternative form of experimentation which is discussed in the book. Noble Metals, Noble Value provides the first comprehensive analysis of the applications of the noble metals of ruthenium (Ru), rhodium (Rh) and palladium (Pd) catalysts in heterocycles synthesis. Pairs of chapters are dedicated to summarizing each of the metals when applied to either five- or six-membered heterocyclic syntheses. An introduction to the importance of heterocycles and possible procedures for the preparation of heterocyclic compounds is also given. With up to date research and findings, this review is excellently suited to academics and professionals in the field of chemistry, with a particular focus on the specialities of biological, catalytic and organic chemistry.
