Carbonylation

When carbon monoxide is introduced into organic or inorganic substrates, the process is referred to as carbonylation. Because it is easily accessible and readily reactive, carbon monoxide is frequently utilised as a reactant in industrial chemistry. Protein side chain oxidation is often referred to as carbonylation. One of the most significant families of transition-metal-catalyzed processes is carbonylation, which entails incorporating carbon monoxide into an organic molecule like an alcohol or an alkene. From a number of carbon sources, such as coal and natural gas, carbon monoxide may be produced as a very inexpensive, straightforward feedstock. Synthesis gas (syn-gas), which is a combination of CO and H2, is often produced via steam reforming or partial oxidation. In several transition-metal complexes, carbon monoxide functions as a ligand by forming a dative OC-M bond with the lone pair on carbon and serving as a potent -acceptor. The CO ligand becomes activated as a result of these interactions and is then susceptible to attacks from outside nucleophiles as well as intramolecular ligand migration events.
