Anion-Binding Catalysis

Exploresthe potential ofnew types ofanion-binding catalyststo solve challenging synthetic problems Anion-Binding Catalysisintroduces readers totheuse ofanion-binding processesincatalytic chemical activation, exploring how this approach can contribute to thefuture design ofnovelsynthetic transformations.Featuring contributions byworld-renownedscientistsinthe field, thisauthoritativevolumedescribesthestructure, properties,and catalytic applicationsofanionsas well as synthetic applications and practical analytical methods. In-depth chaptersare organized by type of catalystratherthanreaction type, providingreaders with an accessibleoverviewofthe existing classes of effective catalysts.The authors discusstheuse of halogens as counteranions,the combination of(thio)urea and squaramide-basedanion-binding with other typesof organocatalysis,anion-binding catalysis by pnictogen and tetrel bonding,nucleophilic co-catalysis, anion-binding catalysis by pnictogen and tetrel bonding,and more.Helpingreadersappreciateandevaluatethe potential of anion-binding catalysis, this timely book: Illustratesthe historical development, activationmode,and importance of anion-binding in chemical catalysis Explains theanalytic methodsused todeterminethe anion-binding affinity of the catalysts Describescatalytic and synthetic applicationsof commonNH-and OH-basedhydrogen-donor catalystsas well asC-H triazole/triazolium catalysts Coversamino-catalysis involving enamine, dienamine, or iminium activation approaches Discusses newtrendsin the field of anion-binding catalysis,such asthe combination of anion-binding with other types of catalysis Presenting thecurrentstate of thefieldas well as the synthetic potential of anion-binding catalysis in future,Anion-Binding Catalysisis essential reading forresearchers in both academia and industry involved inorganic synthesis, homogeneous catalysis,andpharmaceutical chemistry.
