Carbonylation of heterocycles by homogeneous catalysts.
This article summarizes the recent developments (particularly the uses of homogeneous organometallic catalysts) in ring-opening carbonylations, ring-opening carbonylative polymerizations and ring-expansion carbonylations of heterocycles such as epoxides, aziridines, lactones and oxazolines.
