Complete, up-to-date collection of available catalytic systems and processes Reviewing the latest advances in copper-catalyzed reactions for the formation of carbon-heteroatom and carbon-carbon bonds, this book enables readers to understand what is currently known and possible in the field, as well as where additional research is still needed. The book's comprehensive coverage offers insights into the underlying mechanisms, preparation procedures, and state-of-the-science strategies for copper-catalyzed reactions. Moreover, readers will find a complete collection of available reactions, catalytic systems and processes, as well as current and pending patents. Starting with the Ullmann and Goldberg cross-coupling reactions, Copper-Mediated Cross-Coupling Reactions describes core applications and key advances in the field. The first two sections are dedicated to the formation of C-heteroatom bonds and C-C bonds. The third section explores applications of copper-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions, including industrial uses, and the development of environmentally friendly reactions. Among the highlights of coverage, readers will discover: Advances that have revolutionized pharmaceutical, polymer, and materials synthesis Copper-mediated procedures that have been successfully employed to assemble complex targets Advantages and limitations of using different catalytic systems and cross-coupling partners Copper-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions in natural product/bioactive molecule synthesis New methods for conducting copper-mediated reactions with supported catalysts that enable recyclable and reusable systems The book features contributions from an international team of experts and pioneers in the field. Chapters are based on a thorough review and analysis of the literature as well as the authors' firsthand experience.

By setting forth the latest procedures, methods, and applications, Copper-Mediated Cross-Coupling Reactions enables investigators to efficiently synthesize pharmaceuticals, polymers, and materials as well as create a broad array of natural products and molecular structures.
