Highlights
In this Special Issue, important contributions in this exciting field of catalytic processes are reported, which further demonstrate the applicability of carbonylation reactions in the direct synthesis of high value added carbonylated products from simple starting materials
Important results have been obtained in the oxidative carbonylation of alkynes, which have allowed to obtain important carbonyl derivatives in one step starting from very simple building blocks with formation of water as benign coproduct
When applied to suitably functionalized acetylenic derivatives, this strategy has permitted to synthesize functionalized carbonylated heterocycles, difficult to obtained through alternative, non-catalytic and non-carbonylative routes
Summary
In the last few years, the development of catalytic carbonylation reactions has increased greatly. Carbonylation processes nowadays represent the most direct and efficient method for the installation of the carbonyl group into an organic substrate, using the simplest and readily available carbonyl source, that is carbon monoxide [1]. Aside from gaseous CO, several methods have been developed in which carbon monoxide is conveniently generated in situ from suitable solid precursors, or that employ CO surrogates, such as formates or carbon dioxide [2]
