Isonitriles coupling reactions involving

Oxidative coupling and reductive cleavage are yet two additional reaction types in which the names reflect metal-based redox changes.In this regard, the metal-catalyzed reactions of carbon monoxide with other donor molecules such as isonitriles (RNC), carbynes (CR), alkenes, and alkynes, often referred to in the literature as reductive couplings to reflect the transformations affecting the ligands, frequently involve metal-based oxidations and should...
