Transition Metal-Catalyzed Aminocarbonylation Reactions

Fatemeh Doraghi et al. Chem Rec. 2025 Jul.

Abstract

Transition-metal-catalyzed aminocarbonylation reactions using low-cost and accessible CO gas as a C1 building block and amine as a nucleophile have been widely used to prepare amides, which are broadly exist in bioactive drugs, natural products, and polymers. This type of reaction has also been applied to construct various biologically active heterocycles. In this review, we highlight aminocarbonylation reactions involving amine and CO under various transition metal catalysis systems (palladium, rhodium, ruthenium, iridium, iron, copper, and cobalt) over the past decade.

Keywords: Amine; Aminocarbonylation; Carbon monoxide; N-Heterocycle; Transition metal.
