Since Jiro Tsuji wrote Palladium Reagents and Catalysts: Innovations in Organic Synthesis in 1995, the field of organopalladium chemistry has continued to expand at a remarkable rate. Palladium Reagents and Catalysts: New Perspectives for the 21st Century has been written to address this explosive growth, and in particular to cover the developments of the last five years. This volume, together with Innovations in Organic Synthesis provides complete coverage of over 40 years of organopalladium chemistry. Palladium Reagents and Catalysts: New Perspectives for the 21st Century is an essential reference source and companion for students, and both industrial and academic research chemists working in organic synthesis, particularly on synthesis of natural products and medicinal compounds. Those studying development of new synthetic methodology and organometallic chemistry will also find this book valuable. With extensive reference to the primary literature, the present volume highlights:New aspects on organopalladium chemistry, putting emphasis on synthetic applications. New perspectives on the synthetic usefulness of contemporary organopalladium chemistry for synthetic organic chemists.
