Special Issue: Recent Advances in Transition-Metal Catalysis

Abstract

This special issue "Recent Advances in Transition-Metal Catalysis" containing forty-two personal accounts and seven record reviews, discusses the ascendancy of transition metals in modern organic synthesis. The included articles portray the manifold application of transition metals in various processes such as addition/cyclization reactions, asymmetric synthesis, olefin metathesis reactions, coupling reactions, C-H bond activation/functionalization reactions. Additionally, reports describing novel organic transformations based on the employment of transition-metal catalysis in the fields of radical chemistry and materials science are also presented in this collection.
