Catalytic Reductive Carbonylation of Organic Nitro Compounds

This book is a critical overview of all of the published literature in the field of reductive carbonylation of organic nitro compounds (mainly nitroarenes) and related reactions. The book comprises six chapters respectively dealing with structure and complexes of nitro compounds, the synthesis of isocyanates, the synthesis of carbamates and ureas, the synthesis of other non-cyclic compounds, such as amines, imines, and mechanistic studies. This book is the first to be published which covers all of the relevant literature in detail. Audience: Industrial and research chemists interested in organometallic chemistry and organic nitro compounds in particular, homogeneous catalysis and the synthesis of heterocycles.
