Más información sobre el libro

Rhodium is an invaluable metal known for its unique catalytic abilities in various synthetic transformations, including hydrogenation, C-H activation, and allylic substitution. The increasing number of articles on this topic highlights its significance. P. Andrew Evans has curated a comprehensive resource featuring contributions from leading experts in rhodium-catalyzed reactions. This book covers a wide range of developments, such as Rhodium-Catalyzed Asymmetric Hydrogenation, Hydroborations, and the Asymmetric Addition of Organometallic Reagents to Electron Deficient Olefins. It also discusses recent advances in Rhodium(I)-Catalyzed Asymmetric Olefin Isomerization, Hydroformylation, and Silylformylation reactions, along with carbon-carbon bond-forming reactions starting from Rh-H or Rh-Si species. Other topics include cycloisomerization, cyclotrimerization, and various carbocyclization reactions. The book also addresses chiral dirhodium(II) carboxamidates for asymmetric cyclopropanation, C-H insertion reactions, and oxidative amination. This essential reference text serves researchers at all levels in organic chemistry, providing an invaluable overview of significant developments and making it a vital resource for academics and professionals in pharmaceutical and agrochemical sectors.
