Recent Advances in Nonprecious Metal Catalysis

Abstract

Developing catalytic reactions using nonprecious-metal to achieve various synthetic transformations remains a valuable pursuit to the scientific community. As part of a continuing review series that is published within the precompetitive chemistry alliance between AbbVie, Boehringer Ingelheim and Pfizer, this review article underscores the wide-ranging synthetic uses of Cu-, Co-, Fe-, and Ni-catalysis. The significant uptick in NPMC-related publications signifies the escalating curiosity among researchers to investigate and advance the catalytic capabilities of these metals.
