Abstract

This Section reviews briefly those classes of reactions which play an important role in the catalytic hydrogenation of carbon monoxide. Some of the reactions have already been mentioned in earlier Chapters (e.g. oxidative addition of hydrogen in Sect. 2.1, ligand exchange in Section 4.2.2), but it is considered convenient to group the different types of reactions together here for easy reference in later Chapters. It should be noted that these “key reactions” are ubiquitous in catalysis with transition metals in general (certainly in homogeneous, and most probably also in heterogeneous catalysis), but only those aspects relevant to the hydrogenation of carbon monoxide will be discussed. For a broader treatment, the reader is referred to the specialized literature (e.g. Henrici-Olivé and Olivé, 1977; Collman and Hegedus, 1980; Cotton and Wilkinson, 1980).
