Synthesis Of Heterocyclic And Carbocyclic Compounds By Palladium And Copper Catalyzed Reactions

Abstract

Use of transition metal compounds or complexes as catalysts or reagents in organic synthesis is an exciting field in research and numerous novel reactions which are impossible to achieve by conventional synthetic methods have already been discovered. Total syntheses of many complex molecules have been achieved efficiently in shorter steps, which was unbelievable ten years ago. So the applications of transition metal-catalysts and reagents to organic synthesis are still being actively investigated. Substituted pyran and furan represent a common structural component of naturally occurring and biologically active molecules.
