N-Heterocyclic Carbene Complexes in Reactions Involving Carbon Monoxide

N-Heterocyclic Carbenes in Transition Metal Catalysis and Organocatalysis

Part of the book series: Catalysis by Metal Complexes ((CMCO,volume 32))

Abstract

This chapter focuses on carbon monoxide as a reagent in M–NHC catalysed reactions. The most important and popular of these reactions is hydroformylation. Unfortunately, uncertainty exists as to the identity of the active catalyst and whether the NHC is bound to the catalyst in a number of the reported reactions. Mixed bidentate NHC complexes and cobalt-based complexes provide for better stability of the catalyst. Catalysts used for hydroaminomethylation and carbonylation reactions show promise to rival traditional phosphine-based catalysts. Reports of decarbonylation are scarce, but the potential strength of the M–NHC bond is conducive to the harsh conditions required. This report will highlight, where appropriate, the potential benefits of exchanging traditional phosphorous ligands with N-heterocyclic carbenes as well as cases where the role of the NHC might need re-evaluation. A review by the author on this topic has recently appeared [1].
