Although the Fischer-Tropsch process (181) for the conversion of water gas into hydrocarbons has been known since 1925, its dependence on the in situ formation of metal carbonyls was not recognized immediately and most of the pioneering work in the application of metal carbonyls to organic synthesis was carried out by W. Reppe and his co-workers at I. G. Farben during the Second World War (30, 142). One of the main results of this work was the “Oxo” process for the conversion of olefins into the homologous aldehydes or alcohols by reaction with synthesis gas and a cobalt catalyst (58, 122, 168, 190).It is in fact only over the last few years that the synthetic applications of metal carbonylshave attracted the attention of academic rather than industrial chemists. Much of thisawakening interest seems to stem from the revival of interest in organo-metallic com-pounds engendered by new concepts of bonding as typified by ferrocene (42, 203). The object of this review is to summarize our pres-ent knowledge as regards the application of transition metal carbonyls in the synthesis of organic compounds in which one or more carbon monoxide units have be-come incorporated. In order to avoid overlap with other reviews, discussion of such related topics as the chemistry of metal carbonyls, their organo-metallic derivatives, and their use in polymerization reactions has not been included except where germane to the present topic. Various modes of classification of the reactions herein reviewed arc feasible, but none is pre-eminent as many reactions can be accomplished by the use of more than one metal carbonyl and, not infrequently, a reaction may give rise to a multitude of products.
