Transition-Metal-Catalyzed C-H Functionalization of Heterocycles A comprehensive guide to recent advances in this field Constituting the majority of all known compounds, heterocycles are structures that incorporate one or more heteroatoms within their core, thus exhibiting properties that are quite different from their all-carbon analogs. They are fundamental to all fields of chemistry and, therefore, their synthesis and modification has attracted a great deal of attention in the recent years. In this vein, transition-metal-catalyzed C-H bond functionalization forms a crucial tool for generating and analyzing heterocyclic compounds. Transition-Metal-Catalyzed C-H Functionalization of Heterocycles, Two-Volume Set, showcases diverse C-H functionalization methodologies and their incorporation into the latest research. The chapters serve as an essential tool depicting detailed site-selective functionalization of heterocyclic cores, along with a comprehensive discussion on their mechanistic approaches. Readers of Transition-Metal-Catalyzed C-H Functionalization of Heterocycles, Two-Volume-Set will also find: A detailed introduction to C-H activation along with the mechanistic aspects of transition-metal-catalyzed C-H bond activation reactions Easy-to-use structures with each chapter dedicated to a type of heterocycle and its specific functionalization methodologies A leading team of international authors in C-H bond functionalization Transition-Metal-Catalyzed C-H Functionalization of Heterocycles, Two-Volume-Set is a valuable guide for students and researchers in organic synthesis and process development, in both academic and industrial contexts.

Reflecting the tremendous growth of this hot topic in recent years, this book covers C-H activation with a focus on heterocycle synthesis. As such, the text provides general mechanistic aspects and gives a comprehensive overview of catalytic reactions in the presence of palladium, rhodium, ruthenium, copper, iron, cobalt, and iridium.

"Heterocycles from Transition Metal Catalysis: Formation and Functionalization" provides a concise summary of the prominent role of late transition metal (palladium, nickel, copper) catalysed processes in the synthesis and functionalization of heterocyclic systems. It gives an introduction to catalytic transformations, an overview of the most important reaction types, and presents synthetically useful catalytic processes classified by the target system and the type of transformation. The book provides a representative selection of transition metal catalysed reactions transformations that are relevant in heterocyclic chemistry. In this way, the authors present a useful resource for members of the academic community looking for a textbook as well as industrial chemists in search of a reference book. This book will be an invaluable resource for synthetic chemists, medicinal chemists, and those more generally interested in applied catalysis.

Provides, in one handbook, comprehensive coverage of one of the hottest topics in stereoselective chemistry Written by leading international authors in the field, this book introduces readers to C-H activation in asymmetric synthesis along with all of its facets. It presents stereoselective C-H functionalization with a broad coverage, from outer-sphere to inner-sphere C-H bond activation, and from the control of olefin geometry to the induction of point, planar and axial chirality. Moreover, methods wherein asymmetry is introduced either during the C-H activation or in a different elementary step are discussed. Presented in two parts?asymmetric activation of C(sp3)-H bonds and stereoselective synthesis implying activation of C(sp2)-H bonds?CH-Activation for Asymmetric Synthesis showcases the diversity of stereogenic elements, which can now be constructed by C-H activation methods. Chapters in Part 1 cover: C(sp3)-H bond insertion by metal carbenoids and nitrenoids; stereoselective C-C bond and C-N bond forming reactions through C(sp3)?H bond insertion of metal nitrenoids; enantioselective intra- and intermolecular couplings; and more. Part 2 looks at: C-H activation involved in stereodiscriminant step; planar chirality; diastereoselective formation of alkenes through C(sp2)?H bond activation; amongst other methods. -Covers one of the most rapidly developing fields in organic synthesis and catalysis -Clearly structured in two parts (activation of sp3- and activation of sp2-H bonds) -Edited by two leading experts in C-H activation in asymmetric synthesis CH-Activation for Asymmetric Synthesis will be of high interest to chemists in academia, as well as those in the pharmaceutical and agrochemical industry.
