Carbonylation of heterocycles by homogeneous catalysts
Tamara L. Church, Yutan D. Y. L. Getzler, Christopher M. Byrne and Geoffrey W. Coates
This article summarizes the recent developments (particularly the uses of homogeneous organometallic catalysts) in ring-opening carbonylations, ring-opening carbonylative polymerizations and ring-expansion carbonylations of heterocycles such as epoxides, aziridines, lactones and oxazolines.
