Metallocenes in Regio- and Stereoselective Synthesis

This book presents the latest synthetic protocols for the assembly of functionalized Cp ligands and their transition metal complexes. Cyclopentadienyl (Cp) complexes of transition metals belong to the most important classes of transition metal complexes with tightly bound ligands in the coordination sphere since their discovery in the middle of the last century. Even though they have been known for a long time, this field constantly evolves to deliver novel modified Cp ligands and complexes and to blossom into new fields of application. Beside the synthesis of ligands and metal complexes this book concentrates on novel and prospering fields of their application in organic synthesis. In this respect the Cp complexes have been applied to induce and catalyze various significant chemical transformations such as new C-C bond formation involving unsaturated substrates (e.g. cyclotrimerizations, cycloadditions, carbometallations, etc.), C-H bond and C-C bond activations followed by subsequent reactions (e.g. arylation, alkenylations, annulations, etc.), as well as many other processes. This volume also covers the recent development and application of chiral Cp complexes in enantioselective synthesis.
