3 Other processes comprised of multi-component elementary steps 

Beside the above-mentioned processes there exist a variety of processes involving multi-component elementary processes. For example, amidocarbonylation converts olefins, CO, H2, and amides into A-acyl a-aminoacids (Eqs. 1.21 and 

As the number of substrates participating in the catalytic process is increased, the variety of catalytic products increases, whereas establishment of the mechanism will become increasingly difficult. In-depth understanding of the elementary processes discussed in later chapters will help understanding the mechanisms and further designing the novel catalytic processes.
