Abstract
Carbonylation reactions constitute potent methodologies for the
synthesis of all kinds of carbonyl containing compounds. Such
transformations, which require the presence of additional oxidants, are
usually cataloged as so‐called “oxidative carbonylations”. This chapter
examines the catalytic systems that have been used for reductive and
oxidative carbonylation. In addition, it provides a detailed case study
of the rapid formation of essentially pure methyl methacrylate (MMA)
from the methoxycarbonylation of propyne. The chapter also gives a case
study that describes the development of a highly efficient class of
homogeneous catalysts for the carbonylation of alkynes, which makes
possible an economically competitive and environmentally benign process
for MMA production. The chapter further reviews the synthesis of
ethylene/CO copolymer with discussion of the reaction mechanisms.
Finally, it also reviews the copolymerization of unfunctionalized and
functionalized monosubstituted‐ethenes as well as imines.
