Developing
catalytic reactions using nonprecious-metal to achieve
various synthetic transformations remains a valuable pursuit to the
scientific community. As part of a continuing review series that is
published within the precompetitive chemistry alliance between AbbVie,
Boehringer Ingelheim and Pfizer, this review article underscores the
wide-ranging synthetic uses of Cu-, Co-, Fe-, and Ni-catalysis. The
significant uptick in NPMC-related publications signifies the escalating
curiosity among researchers to investigate and advance the catalytic
capabilities of these metals.
