Publisher's Synopsis
'Copper Catalysis in Organic Synthesis' contains an up-to-date overview of the most important reactions in the presence of copper catalysts. The contributors - noted experts on the topic - provide an introduction to the field of copper catalysis, reviewing its development, scope, and limitations, as well as providing descriptions of various homo- and cross-coupling reactions. In addition, information is presented on copper-catalysed C-H activation, amination, carbonylation, trifluoromethylation, cyanation, and click reactions. Comprehensive in scope, the book also describes microwave-assisted and multi- component transformations as well as copper-catalysed reactions in green solvents and continuous flow reactors. The authors highlight the application of copper catalysis in asymmetric synthesis and total synthesis of natural products and heterocycles as well as nanocatalysis.
