A comprehensive exploration of Pd/Norbornene (NBE) catalysis

In Palladium and Norbornene Cooperative Catalysis: Fundamentals and Applications, renowned researcher Professor Guangbin Dong delivers a systematic and comprehensive discussion of Pd/NBE catalysis, including its mechanisms, scopes, applications, and current limitations. The book provides readers with the fundamental knowledge they will need to use this type of catalysis in their own research, as well as how to choose the best reaction conditions and catalyst combinations.

Each of the eight chapters are written by leading experts in the Pd/NBE catalysis field. They cover topics ranging from the mechanistic foundation of Pd/NBE catalysis to the scope of the ipso and ortho functionalization, asymmetric development, a review of the Pd/NBE-catalyzed heteroarene functionalization, and more.

Readers will also find:

• A thorough introduction to intramolecular and intermolecular cyclizations
• Comprehensive explorations of the annulation chemistry
• Practical discussions of Pd(II)-initiated reactions
• A complete summary of a variety of applications in the synthesis of complex molecules and organic materials using Pd/NBE catalysis

Perfect for chemistry students with an interest in transition-metal catalysis and organic synthesis. This book will also benefit academic researchers and practicing chemists.
