Summary
Insertions of carbon monoxide into transition metal-carbon bonds are among the most selective methods for the catalytic introduction of oxygen into organic compounds. A variety of processes are known today and most of them are of great industrial importance. Depending on the nature of the organic substrate, the catalyst and additional reaction components products range from aldehydes, alcohols, and acids to esters, anhydrides, acid chlorides, amides etc. An attempt is made here to show that all these reactions proceed by similar mechanisms.
