6 Other Miscellaneous Metal Alkoxide Catalysis Reactions 

The scope of organic synthesis, essentially, is the synthesis of new molecules from existing molecules. The addition reactions could be realized as a very important category in which two or more different molecules reacted with each other to form a new compound. Transesterification and cyclization reactions also have been used for the synthesis of new compounds, sometimes. There are excessively other reactions in this area but we only consider some of them which could be catalyzed or co-catalyzed with metal alkoxides. There are also many routs for the classification of these reactions but the focus of this chapter is on metal alkoxides so we use particular types of metal for this purpose and divide metals to four categories of s-block (alkali and alkaline earth), p-block, d-block (transition), and f-block (actinides and lanthanides) metals.
