C-C Cross Couplings with 3d Base Metal Catalysts

This volume presents recent progress on 3d base metal catalyzed C-C cross coupling reactions. The contributions provide detailed discussions on the use of cheap metal catalysts such as Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, and Zn to construct C^sp2-C^sp2, C^sp2-C^sp3 and C^sp3-C^sp3 bonds with a variety of substrates. These non-noble metal catalyst have many advantages such as being inexpensive, having low toxicity and are environmentally benign. Therefore the use of cheap metal catalysts in organic synthesis ...
