The Pauson-Khand reaction is an important reaction in the field of
organic chemistry. It involves the transition-metal catalysed
cycloaddition of an alkyne, an alkene and carbon monoxide, to
produce cyclopentenones. The importance of this reaction
originates from its high value in transforming simple components
into the synthetically useful cyclopentenone unit, in which a high
degree of molecular complexity can be achieved in a single step,
with impressive stereochemical and regiochemical control.
The Pauson-Khand Reaction investigates the nature and
many variations of this reaction.
Topics covered include:
* the mechanisms of Pauson-Khand-type reactions
* non chiral intramolecular and intermolecular versions of
Pauson-Khand reactions
* asymmetric Pauson-Khand reaction using chiral
auxiliaries
* the enantioselective Pauson-Khand reaction
* Pauson-Khand reactions catalysed by metals other than
cobalt
* unconventional Pauson-Khand reactions
* the Pauson-Khand reaction in total synthesis
Presenting a comprehensive overview of this fundamental
reaction, The Pauson-Khand Reaction will find a place on the
bookshelves of any organic or organometallic chemist.
