Abstract

The purpose of this review is to demonstrate that high valent oxo-molybdenum complexes are excellent catalysts for C-X bond forming reactions, including carbon-carbon, carbon-heteroatom (C-N, C-O, C-S, C-P, C-Br, and C-I), and carbon-hydrogen bonds.

Keywords: C-X bond formation, oxo-molybdenum complexes, organic synthesis
