Explore the latest advances involving organo/metal combined catalysts from leading contributors in the field
In Asymmetric Organo-Metal Catalysis: Concepts, Principles, and Applications, accomplished chemist Liu-Zhu Gong delivers a comprehensive discussion of how to design efficient organo/metal combined catalyst systems, new cooperatively catalyzed asymmetric reactions, relay catalytic cascades, and multicomponent reactions. The distinguished author covers critical topics, like the combined catalysis of chiral phase transfer catalysts, enamine, iminium, nucleophilic Lewis base, or Bronsted acids with metal complexes, while also covering the cooperative catalysis of photocatalysts and organocatalysts.
The book offers readers an exploration of the general concepts and principles of bond activation and reorganization, together with a comprehensive introduction to the historical developments and recent advances in the field. Readers will also benefit from the descriptions of new chemistry and new synthetic methods included within.
Asymmetric Organo-Metal Catalysis also provides:
- Thorough introductions to chiral PTC-metal cooperative catalysis and enamine-metal cooperative catalysis
- Comprehensive explorations of iminum-metal relay catalysis and cooperative catalysis of bronsted acids and transition metals
- Practical discussions of metal-bronsted acid relay catalysis and Lewis base-Lewis acid cooperative catalysis
- In-depth examinations of Lewis base-transition metal cooperative catalysis and photocatalysis combined with organocatalysis
Perfect for organic, catalytic, and pharmaceutical chemists, Asymmetric Organo-Metal Catalysis: Concepts, Principles, and Applications is also an invaluable resource for chemists working with or on organometallics.
