Description
Transition metal catalysis plays a crucial role in the development of new chemical transformations, which can be broadly applied in organic synthesis, medicinal chemistry, synthesis of biologically relevant molecules, pharmaceuticals and other related fields. In recent years, the need for application of sustainable methods is significantly growing due to the necessity of waste-free transformations. Plenty of industrially run processes still apply classical procedures, which often lead to production of tons of waste as a consequence of multistep synthesis. Thus, development of novel catalytic systems which would afford complex molecular structures via straightforward processes is still desired. Hence, metal-catalyzed transformations play a crucial role in the development of new synthetic strategies, as they can easily lead to the reduction of synthetic steps and, ipso facto, reduction of waste leading to atom-economic transformations. Application of transition metals particularly in
