Transition Metal Reagents and Catalysts Innovations in Organic Synthesis Jiro Tsuji Emeritus Professor, Tokyo Institute of Technology, Japan Numerous innovative and practical synthetic methods using transition metal complexes as either catalysts or reagents have been developed over the last 35 years. Transition Metal Reagents and Catalysts combines the varied applications of transition metal complexes in a unique and timely book in this rapidly advancing area of organic synthesis. This text is an easily understandable and enjoyable read for organic chemists who are not yet familiar with organo-transition metal chemistry. Transition Metal Reagents and Catalysts presents:* Complete coverage of nearly 35 years of transition metal complex chemistry* An in-depth treatment of many innovative synthetic methodologies* A rational classification of all reactions according to substrates and reaction mechanisms* Examples of important applications of transition metal catalysed reactions.A knowledge of organic synthesis using transition metal complexes is a must for all synthetic organic chemists. Written for chemists who wish to apply novel synthetic methods using transition metal complexes to solve problems in organic and pharmaceutical chemistry, such as synthesis of fine and bulk chemicals and natural products, Transition Metal Reagents and Catalysts is an essential reference source and an indispensible research companion.

Palladium Reagents and Catalysts Innovations in Organic Synthesis Jiro Tsuji Okayama University of Science, Okayama, Japan Palladium Reagents and Catalysts brings to synthetic organic chemists the many applications of organopalladium chemistry, highlighting the most recent discoveries in this rapidly expanding field. This volume provides a comprehensive overview of the development of many innovative synthetic methods, using palladium reagents either as catalysts or stoichiometric reagents. Palladium is the most versatile of the transition metals used in organic synthesis and knowledge of this rapidly expanding and challenging area is essential for all synthetic organic chemists.

Palladium Reagents and Catalysts presents:* a complete coverage of nearly 35 years of organopalladium chemistry* an in-depth treatment of many innovative synthetic methodologies* rational classification of all reactions according to reaction mechanism* a concise survey of the scope and limitations of organopalladium reagents* extensive references to the primary literatureProviding comprehensive coverage of all important reactions of organopalladium reagents, Palladium Reagents and Catalysts demonstrates applications to organic synthesis, recommending possible future research. Industrial and research chemists working on synthetic methodologies and organometallic reactions as well as organic, natural product, pharmaceutical, organometallic and fine chemical synthesis, will find Palladium Reagents and Catalysts an essential reference source and indispensable research companion.

Palladium is a remarkable metal. In particular, organopalladium chemistry has made remarkable progress over the last 30 years. That progress is still continuing, without any end in sight. This book presents a number of accounts and reviews on the novel Pd-catalyzed reactions discovered mainly in the last five years. The book covers Pd-catalyzed reactions that are new – entirely different from the more standard ones. Topics such as new reactions involving ß-carbon elimination and formation of palladacycles as key reactions, cross-coupling of unactivated alkyl electrophiles with organometallic compounds, arylation via C-H bond cleavage, Pd/norbornene-catalyzed aromatic functionalizations, three-component cyclizations of allenes, use of N-heterocyclic carbenes as ligands, asymmetric reactions catalyzed by Pd(II) compounds such as Lewis acids, cycloadditions of arynes and alkynes, and nucleophilic attack by Pd species are surveyed in detail by researchers who have made important contributions to these fields. The book addresses graduate students majoring in organic synthesis and researchers in academic and industrial institutes.

In 1970 I wrote a review article for "Topics in Current Chemistry", surveying the general reaction patterns of transition-metal complexes from the standpoint of organic synthesis. The article seems to have evoked wide interest, and I therefore thought it appropriate to treat the subject more comprehensively in the form of a monograph. Organometallic chemistry is a rapidly growing field of intensive research. In this field, the application of organometallic compounds to organic synthesis is an important subject and many unique synthetic methods have been discovered, especially in the last decade. Syntheses using transition-metal com­ pounds are now in the foreground of organic chemistry. The purpose of this monograph is to give a bird's-eye view of this field to both organic and inorganic chemists through a mechanistic approach. A systematic unification of the voluminous data accumulated in this field is now urgently required. This subject is discussed by classifying various reactions into general patterns and by illustrating them with a limited number of pertinent examples.

Around 30 years ago the transition metal chemistry received great impulses. In the focus have been reactions of nickel and cobalt and herein especially their carbonyls. Also industrial processes have been developed. When the technical oxidation of ethylene with palladium chloride had been discovered, and a great number oflaboratory reactions, many groups have turned towards this subject. Apart from two important industrial processes - acetaldehyde and vinylacetate from ethylene - a great number of conversions and catalytic reactions with palladium compounds have been researched. Their mechanisms have been cleared up and have con­ tributed to a better understanding of the complex chemistry of palladium. Last but not least these reactions have also served for more understanding of organic transition metal compounds and catalyses in general. Numerous conventional reactions appear today in a different light. The effects of co-
