Jiro Tsuji, one of the pioneers in this field of organic synthesis, provides synthetic organic chemists with a remarkable overview of the many applications of organopalladium chemistry. Tsuji discusses the recent developments in the field as well as the explosive growth over the last five years. Highlighting the most recent discoveries in this rapidly expanding field, the book; Focuses on new aspects of organopalladium chemistry, putting emphasis on synthetic applications Investigates the new perspectives on the synthetic uses of contemporary organopalladium chemistry This volume, together with Innovations in Organic Synthesis, Tsuji's previous title, provides complete coverage of over 40 years of organopalladium chemistry. Palladium Reagents and Catalysts: New Perspectives for the 21st Century is an essential reference source and companion for students, and both industrial and academic research chemists working in organic synthesis, particularly on synthesis of natural products and medicinal compounds. Those studying development of new synthetic methodology and organometallic chemistry will also find this book valuable.

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.

Product Description: 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...read more
