Summary

The Chemical Transformations of C1 Compounds

A comprehensive exploration of one-carbon molecule transformations

The chemistry of one-carbon molecules has recently gained significant prominence as the world transitions away from a petroleum-based economy to a more sustainable one. In The Chemical Transformations of C1 Compounds, an accomplished team of chemists delivers an in-depth overview of recent developments in the field of single-carbon chemistry. The three-volume book covers all major C1 sources, including carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, methane, methanol, formic acid, formaldehyde, carbenes, C1 halides, and organometallics.

The editors have included resources discussing the main reactions and transformations into feedstock chemicals of each of the major C1 compounds reviewed in dedicated chapters. Readers will discover cutting-edge material on organic transformations with MeNO₂, DMF, DCM, methyl organometallic reagents, CCl₄, CHCl₃, and CHBr₃, as well as recent achievements in cyanation reactions via cross-coupling.

The book also offers:

• Thorough introductions to chemical transformations of CH₄, methods of CH₄ activation, chemical transformations of CH₃OH and synthesis alkenes from CH₃OH
• Comprehensive explorations of the carbonylation of MeOH, CH₂O in organic synthesis, organic transformations of HCO₂H, and hydrogen generation from HCO₂H
• Practical discussions of the carbonylation of unsaturated bonds with heterogeneous and homogeneous catalysts, as well as the carbonylation of C(sp₂)-X bonds and C(sp₃)-X bonds
• In-depth examinations of carbonylative C-H bond activation and radical carbonylation

Perfect for organic and catalytic chemists, The Chemical Transformations of C1 Compounds is also an ideal resource for industrial chemists, chemical engineers, and practitioners at energy supply companies.

Author Biography

Xiao-Feng Wu studied chemistry in Zhejiang Sci-Tech University (China), where he got his bachelor?s degree in science (2007). In the same year, he went to Rennes 1 University (France) and earned his master?s degree in 2009. Then he joined Matthias Beller?s group in Leibniz-Institute for Catalysis (Germany), where he completes his PhD defense in January 2012. Subsequently he started his independent research at LIKAT and ZSTU where he was promoted to professor in 2013. In March 2017, Xiao-Feng defended his Habilitation successfully from Rennes 1 University (France). Xiao-Feng has authored >300 publications in international journals, meanwhile he is also the editor or author of >10 books.

Buxing Han received his Ph.D. at the Institute of Chemistry, Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), in 1988, and did postdoctoral research from 1989 to 1991 at the University of Saskatchewan, Canada. He has been a professor at the Institute of Chemistry, CAS, since 1993. He is an academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences; a fellow of the Academy of Sciences for the Developing World (TWAS); a fellow of the Royal Society of Chemistry; the chairman of the Green Chemistry Committee, Chinese Chemical Society; the former chairman of the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC) Subcommittee on Green Chemistry; and a former titular member of Division III of IUPAC. Buxing Han has published >300 papers, >20 patents.

Kuiling Ding received his B.S. in chemistry from Zhengzhou University in 1985 before studying physical organic chemistry at Nanjing University, where he received a Ph.D. in 1990 with Professor Yangjie Wu. He became an assistant professor at Zhengzhou University in 1990 and a full professor at the same university in 1995. During 1993-1994, he was engaged in a postdoctoral research with Professor Teruo Matsuura at Ryukoku University in Japan. In the period from 1997 to 1998, he was a UNESCO research fellow with Professor Koichi Mikami at Tokyo Institute of Technology in Japan. He joined Shanghai Institute of Organic Chemistry, CAS, in Dec of 1998 as a professor of chemistry and had been the director of the institute in the period of 2009-2019. He moved to Shanghai Jiaotong University as an executive vice president in 2018. His research interests include the development of new methodologies and novel catalysts for green & sustainable chemistry including asymmetric catalysis and CO2 transformation. He received National Natural Science Award of China in 2009, the 1st Yoshida Prize of International Organic Chemistry Foundation (IOCF) Japan in 2015, and Humboldt Research Award in 2016. He was elected a member of Chinese Academy of Sciences in 2013.

Zhongmin Liu received his PhD in Physical Chemistry from Dalian Institute of Chemical Physics (DICP) in 1990. He is the member of Chinese Academy of Engineering. He has been the Director of DICP and the Director of Qingdao Institute of Bioenergy and Bioprocess Technology, CAS, since 2017. Prof. Liu, together with partners and his colleagues, has successfully accomplished the industrial demonstration test of methanol to olefin technology (DMTO) in 2006. Based on DMTO, the world's first commercial coal to olefin plant was built in 2010, which was a milestone for C1 resource to chemicals. Up to now, 24 DMTO units have been licensed with the olefins production capacity of 13.86 million t/a. Prof. Liu and his team also developed an ethanol production process via carbonylation of DME and further hydrogenated, which leads to the world's first 10 KTA coal to ethanol plant in 2017 in Shaanxi, China. He has also developed many other new catalysts and catalytic process, such as propylene to isopropanol, and methanol to dimethyl ether. Many of them have been commercialized. He published more than 300 papers, filed 300 patents and got many awards such as The National Technological Invention Awards First Prize on DMTO.
