The demand for selective organic reactions is growing more acute everyday. Indeed, greater product selectivity has an important impact on energy and resource utilization, in terms of reduced process energy requirements for product separation and purification, in terms of low-value by-products, and in terms of environmental acceptance and compatibility. Moreover, more and more chemicals, especially pharmaceuticals, have to be sold in an optically active form. The search for selectivity constitutes a tremendous challenge for the chemists. In the last two decades, homogeneous transition metal based catalysis has emerged as one of the most promising tools for obtaining selectivity. In connection with developments in this area, this book contains updated and expanded versions of most of the lectures presented at a Cornett course held in Trieste (Italy) in 1989 and sponsored by the European Community. A primary aim is to cultivate a deeper understanding of the parameters that govern the selectivities and stimulate a wider utilization of transition metal based catalysis in organic synthesis. All aspects of selectivity, chemo-, regio-, stereo- and enantioselectivity are considered and illustrated by applications in various fields or organic synthesis. The impact of catalysis in oxydation, reduction, carbonylation reactions, carbene chemistry, in Ni and Pd promoted dimerizations, oligomerizations as well as fonctionalisations is stressed, quite often with special emphasis laid on reaction mechanisms. In this aspect, the last chapter examplifies the interest of high pressure NMR and IR when investigating the nature of reaction intermediates in homogeneous reactions.

During the whole period of my PhD, spent in co-tutorship between Università degli Studi dell'Insubria and UPMC in Paris, I have directed my efforts towards the study of C-O and C-N bonds formation by new transition metal-catalyzed reactions.Pursuing our ongoing project on intra- and intermolecular transition metal-catalyzed amination and alkoxylation reactions involving C-H functionalization, we tried to perform two intramolecular alkoxylation procedures of carbon-carbon multiple bonds to obtain oxygenated heterocycles and one intermolecular oxidative allylic amination to accomplish nitrogen-based scaffolds.Performed at intramolecular level, transition metal-catalyzed reactions offer a versatile strategy to obtain cyclic molecules, not easily obtainable by conventional synthetic methods and starting from readily available starting materials, and represent one of the key methodologies for the progress of green and sustainable chemistry. Dealing with alkoxylation protocols, two different research lines based on transition metal catalysis applied to domino reactions were investigated. Domino processes are efficient tools to rapidly increase the molecular complexity through the formation of more than one bond in a single step, respecting the rule of step economy. While the domino approach involving alkenes and allenes is well investigated, examples involving alkynes are somewhat limited in the literature.
