Metallocenes in Regio- and Stereoselective Synthesis (Hardcover)

Hardcover. This book presents the latest synthetic protocols for the assembly of functionalizedCp ligands and their transition metal complexes. Cyclopentadienyl (Cp) complexesof transition metals belong to the most important classes of transition metal complexeswith tightly bound ligands in the coordination sphere since their discovery in the middleof the last century. Even though they have been known for a long time, this field constantly evolves to deliver novel modified Cp ligands and complexes and to blossom into newfields of application. Beside the synthesis of ligands and metal complexes this bookconcentrates on novel and prospering fields of their application in organic synthesis. In thisrespect the Cp complexes have been applied to induce and catalyze various significant chemicaltransformations such as new C-C bond formation involving unsaturated substrates (e.g.cyclotrimerizations, cycloadditions, carbometallations, etc.), C-H bond and C-C bondactivations followed by subsequent reactions (e.g. arylation, alkenylations, annulations,etc.), as well as many other processes. This volume also coversthe recent development and application of chiral Cp complexes in enantioselective synthesis. This book presents the latest synthetic protocols for the assembly of functionalizedCp ligands and their transition metal complexes.
