Proceedings of the NATO Advanced Study Institute on Fast Electrical
and Optical Diagnostic Principles and Techniques, Il Ciocco,
Castelvecchio Pascoli, Italy, July 10-24, 1983
Since the publication of our earlier book on transition metal
mediated organic synthesis, * there has been a widespread increase
of interest in this topic, and transition metal based methodology
has become firmly established in many areas of organic chemistry.
The direct, catalytic formation of organic carbonyl compounds using
carbon monoxide as the source of the carbonyl group has seen
exceptional progress, and this carbonylation chemistry is being
used increasingly in research and on a larger scale for fine
chemicals production. In view of these developments, there is a
need for a modem, practi cally oriented book dealing with
transition metal based carbonylation chemistry. The present
monograph should help fulfill this need, since it is intended
specifically to foster the adoption of catalytic carbonylation as a
general tool in synthetic organic chemistry. It deals exclusively
with reactions involving the interconversion of carbon monoxide and
organic carbonyl compounds, and although the majority of the
reactions discussed involve catalytic formation of carbonyl
compounds, potentially valuable syntheses requiring stoichiometric
quantities of transition metal are also included. In addition, a
chapter is devoted to the remarkably useful reverse transformation
(decarbonylation), in which an organic carbonyl group is eliminated
in the form of carbon monoxide."

The continually growing contribution of transition metal chemistry
to synthetic organic chemistry is, of course, widely recognized.
Equally well known is the difficulty in keeping up-to-date with the
multifarious reactions and procedures that seem to be spawned at an
ever-increasing rate. These can certainly be summarized on the
basis of reviews under the headings of the individual transition
metals. More useful to the bench organic chemist, however, would be
the opposite type of concordance based on the structural type of
the desired synthetic product. This is the approach taken in the
present monograph, which presents for each structural entity a
conspectus of the transition metal-mediated processes that can be
employed in its production. The resulting comparative survey should
be a great help in devising the optimum synthetic approach for a
particular goal. It is presented from an essentially practical
viewpoint, with detailed direc tions interspersed in the
Houben-Weyl style. The wide scope of the volume should certainly
encourage synthetic organic chemists to utilize fully the range and
versatility of these transition metal-mediated processes. This will
certainly be a well-thumbed reference book R. A. RAPHAEL Cambridge
University v Preface In recent years an enormous amount of work has
been done on the catalysis of organic reactions by various
transition metal species and on the organic reactivity of
organo-transition-metal compounds."
