Carbene transformations have had a profound impact on catalysis and organometallic chemistry, with the growth of transition metal-catalyzed carbene transformations in recent decades making them an important compound class in organic synthesis, pharmaceutical, and agrochemical industries. Transition Metal-Catalyzed Carbene Transformations, edited by leading experts in the field, provides a comprehensive summary of the latest advances in this rapidly expanding research area.

This authoritative volume covers various reaction types, including ring-forming reactions and rearrangement reactions, detailing their conditions and properties, and providing readers with accurate information on a wide range of carbene reactions. Twelve in-depth chapters address topics such as carbene C-H bond insertion in alkane functionalization, the application of engineered enzymes in asymmetric carbene transfer, progress in transition-metal-catalyzed cross-coupling using carbene precursors, and more. Throughout the text, the authors highlight novel catalytic systems, transformations, and applications of transition-metal-catalyzed carbene transfer.

Highlights the dynamic nature of the field of transition-metal-catalyzed carbene transformations. Summarizes the catalytic radical approach for selective carbene cyclopropanation, high enantioselectivity in X-H insertions, and bio-inspired carbene transformations. Introduces chiral N,N-dioxide and chiral guanidine-based catalysts and different transformations with gold catalysis. Discusses approaches in cycloaddition reactions with metal carbenes and polymerization with carbene transformations. Outlines multicomponent reactions with carbene transformations.

In conclusion, Transition Metal-Catalyzed Carbene Transformations is an essential resource for researchers and practitioners in catalysis, organometallic chemistry, and related fields. It provides a comprehensive overview of the latest advances in this rapidly evolving research area, covering different reaction types, catalytic systems, and applications. The book will be valuable to students, postdoctoral fellows, and established researchers seeking to stay up-to-date with the latest developments in this field.
