Gold Catalysis: An Homogeneous Approach Catalytic Science Series ed. [Kõva köide]

Long considered catalitically inactive, gold now plays a central role in modern organic chemistry, and here scientists explain its use as a catalyst in methodologies that create carbon-carbon and carbon-heteroatom bonds. The topics include homogeneous gold-catalyzed oxidation and reduction reactions, the gold-catalyzed addition of a heteroatom nucleophile to a carbon-carbon multiple bond, gold-catalyzed multi-component reactions, gold catalysis on tandem and cascade reactions, gold-catalyzed reactions of propargylic esters, recent developments in asymmetric catalysis, and gold catalysis in natural products synthesis.

Research on designing new catalytic systems has been one of the most important fields in modern organic chemistry, and one reason for this is the predominant contribution of catalysis to the concepts of atom economy and green chemistry in the 21st century. Gold, considered catalytically inactive for a long time, is now a fascinating partner of modern chemistry, as scientists such as Bond, Haruta, Hutchings, Ito and Hayashi opened new perspectives for the whole synthetic chemist community. This book presents the major advances in homogeneous catalysis, emphasizing the methodologies that create carbon-carbon and carbon-heteroatom bonds, the applications that create diversity and synthesize natural products, and the recent advances and challenges in asymmetric catalysis and computational research.The Handbook of Homogeneous Gold Catalysis provides readers with in-depth information about gold-catalyzed reactions and presents several explanations for the scientific design of a catalyst. Readers will be able to understand the entire gold area and find solutions to problems in catalysis.Featuring prominent authors, who are experts in their respective fields, this is the first book dedicated to homogeneous gold chemistry.
