Modern Rhodium–Catalyzed Organic Reactions

Rhodium has proven to be an extremely useful metal due to its ability to catalyze an array of synthetic transformations, with quite often–unique selectivity. Hydrogenation, C–H activation, allylic substitution, and numerous other reactions are catalyzed by this metal, which presumably accounts for the dramatic increase in the number of articles that have recently emerged on the topic.
P. Andrew Evans, the editor of this much–needed book, has assembled an internationally renowned team to present the first comprehensive coverage of this important area. The book features contributions from leaders in the field of rhodium–catalyzed reactions, and thereby provides a detailed account of the most current developments, including chapters written by D. J. Austin, J. M. Brown, K. Brummond, J. du Bois, H. M. Davies, M. P. Doyle, P. A. Evans, K. Fagnou, G. C. Fu, T. Hayashi, N. Jeong, J. L. Leighton, I. Matsuda, I. Ojima, J. E. Robinson, D. F. Taber, P. A. Wender, F. G. West and X. Zhang.
An essential reference text for researchers at all levels in the general area of organic chemistry. This book provides an invaluable overview of the most significant developments in this important area of research, and will no doubt be an essential text for researchers at academic institutions and professionals at pharmaceutical/agrochemical companies.
