New Trends in Cross-Coupling: Theory and Applications

Following on from its recognition in the 2010 Nobel Prize for Chemistry, contributors from across the globe present the latest cross-coupling trends in both academia and industry.
Palladium-catalysed cross-coupling reactions constitute a powerful class of chemical methods for the creation of carbon-carbon and carbon-heteroatom bonds used in organic synthesis, famously recognized by the 2010 Nobel Prize awarded to Richard F. Heck, Ei-ichi Negishi and Akira Suzuki `for palladium-catalysed cross-couplings in organic synthesis.' This book provides the reader with the history and basic, concepts of cross-coupling up to the state of the art in modern coupling reactions from both technology and applied perspectives.
Edited by Thomas J. Colacot, an expert on cross coupling, the book contains contributions from academic and industrial world leaders in the field, as well as Forewords from Professor Barry M. Trost, Gregory C. Fu and 2010 Nobel Laureate in Chemistry Professor Ei-ichi Negishi. It serves as a reference guide for both undergraduate and graduate students as well as those who are experts in the area.
'... this compilation, a "must" for anyone interested in learning and using newer trends in cross-coupling.' Ei-ichi Negishi, 2010 Nobel Laureate in Chemistry
'I am very pleased to see such a book concerning cross coupling reactions published.' Professor Akira Suzuki - 2010 Nobel Laureate in Chemistry
'... this book is invaluable to anyone involved in synthesis of organic compounds for any purpose.' Professor Barry Trost, Stanford University
