Provides a much-needed account of the formidable cobalt rush in organic synthesis and catalysis
Over the past few decades cobalt has turned into one of the most promising metals for use in
catalytic reactions with important applications in the efficient and selective synthesis of
natural products pharmaceuticals and new materials. Cobalt Catalysis in Organic Synthesis:
Methods and Reactions provides a unique overview of cobalt-catalysed and -mediated reactions
applied in modern organic synthesis. It covers a broad range of homogeneous reactions like
cobalt-catalysed hydrogenation hydrofunctionalization cycloaddition reactions C-H
functionalization as well as radical and biomimetic reactions.. -First comprehensive book on
this rapidly evolving research area -Covers a broad range of homogeneous reactions such as C-H
activation cross-coupling synthesis of heterocyclic compounds (Pauson-Khand) and more
-Chapters on low-valent cobalt complexes as catalysts in coupling reactions and
enantioselective cobalt-catalyzed transformations are also included -Can be used as a
supplementary reader in courses of advanced organic synthesis and organometallic chemistry
Cobalt Catalysis in Organic Synthesis is an ideal book for graduates and researchers in
academia and industry working in the field of synthetic organic chemistry catalysis
organometallic chemistry and natural product synthesis.
