The Chemical Transformations of C1 Compounds

<b>The Chemical Transformations of C1 Compounds</b> <p><b> A comprehensive exploration of one-carbon molecule transformations</b> <p>The chemistry of one-carbon molecules has recently gained significant prominence as the world transitions away from a petroleum-based economy to a more sustainable one. In <i>The Chemical Transformations of C1 Compounds</i>, an accomplished team of chemists delivers an in-depth overview of recent developments in the field of single-carbon chemistry. The three-volume book covers all major C1 sources, including carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, methane, methanol, formic acid, formaldehyde, carbenes, C1 halides, and organometallics. <p>The editors have included resources discussing the main reactions and transformations into feedstock chemicals of each of the major C1 compounds reviewed in dedicated chapters. Readers will discover cutting-edge material on organic transformations with MeNO₂, DMF, DCM, methyl organometallic reagents, CCl₄, CHCl₃, and CHBr₃, as well as recent achievements in cyanation reactions via cross-coupling. <p>The book also offers: <ul><li>Thorough introductions to chemical transformations of CH₄, methods of CH₄ activation, chemical transformations of CH₃OH and synthesis alkenes from CH₃OH</li> <li>Comprehensive explorations of the carbonylation of MeOH, CH₂O in organic synthesis, organic transformations of HCO₂H, and hydrogen generation from HCO₂H</li> <li>Practical discussions of the carbonylation of unsaturated bonds with heterogeneous and homogeneous catalysts, as well as the carbonylation of C(sp₂)-X bonds and C(sp₃)-X bonds</li> <li>In-depth examinations of carbonylative C-H bond activation and radical carbonylation</li></ul> <p>Perfect for organic and catalytic chemists, <i>The Chemical Transformations of C1 Compounds</i> is also an ideal resource for industrial chemists, chemical engineers, and practitioners at energy supply companies.
