Abstract

Exploitation of new methodologies for utilization of carbon monoxide is one of fundamental technologies for alternative chemical feedstocks at present as well as in the future. This article describes a personal perspective of the studies on carbon monoxide chemistry, and is divided into four items; 1) design of new catalyst systems for hydroformylation and its application to asymmetric carbonylation, 2) unsymmetrical ketone synthesis via carbonylative cross-coupling of halides, 3) synthesis of α-keto acid derivatives and α-hydroxy acids via double carbonylation of organic halides, and 4) direct carbonylation of hydrocarbons through C-H bond activation.
