1. Introduction to Chromium
• The 7th most abundant transition metal • Biologically active (glucose metabolism)
• Inexpensive: 3 times cheaper than Co • Widely used: metallurgy, pigments, catalysis
• Cr(III) is non toxic (but Cr(VI) is!) • The hardest metal on earth
S
• Nozaki−Hiyama−Kishi coupling between allyl cross couplings (Knochel et al.)
halides and aldehydes • Olefin polymerization and selective
• Takai olefination for conversion of aldehydes oligomerization: Chevron-Phillips ethylene
to alkenes (not catalytic) trimerization system (250 kt 1-hexene/year)
P • Cr mediated C(sp2) - C(sp2) Kumada type
