In organometallic chemistry, a migratory insertion is a type of reaction wherein two ligands on a metal complex combine. It is a subset of reactions that very closely resembles the insertion reactions, and both are differentiated by the mechanism that leads to the resulting stereochemistry of the products. However, often the two are used interchangeably because the mechanism is sometimes unknown. Therefore, migratory insertion reactions or insertion reactions, for short, are defined not by the mechanism but by the overall regiochemistry wherein one chemical entity interposes itself into an existing bond of typically a second chemical entity e.g.:
Ligand#Classification of ligands as L and X
In the migratory insertion, a ligand that is viewed as an anion (X) ligand in and a ligand that is viewed as neutral couple, generating a new anionic ligand. The anion and neutral ligands that react are adjacent. If the precursor complex is coordinatively saturated, migratory insertion often result in a coordinatively unsaturated product. A new (neutral) ligand can then react with the metal leading to a further insertion. The process can occur many times on a single metal, as in olefin polymerization.
The anionic ligand can be: H− (hydride), R− (alkyl), acyl, Ar− (aryl), or OR− (alkoxide). The ability of these groups to migrate is called their migratory aptitude. The neutral ligand can be CO, alkene, alkyne, or in some cases, even carbene.
Diverse reactions apply to the migratory insertion. One mechanism involves the attack of the anionic ligand on the electrophilic part of the neutral ligand (the anionic ligand migrates to the neutral ligand). The other mechanism involves the neutral ligand inserts itself between the metal and the anionic ligand.
The insertion of carbon monoxide into a metal-carbon bond to form an acyl group is the basis of carbonylation reactions, which provides many commercially useful products.
CO inserts into a metal-alkyl bond via migratory insertion. The key concept is that both the CO and the alkyl groups are ligands on the same metal.

vignette|300px|Exemple de cycle catalytique : le procédé Monsanto. En chimie, un cycle catalytique est un terme désignant un mécanisme réactionnel à plusieurs étapes impliquant un catalyseur. Le cycle catalytique est la principale façon de décrire le rôle des catalyseurs en biochimie, chimie organométallique, science des matériaux Souvent, de tels cycles montrent la conversion d'un précatalyseur en catalyseur. Comme les catalyseurs sont régénérés, les cycles catalytiques sont habituellement écrits comme une séquence de réactions chimiques en forme de boucle.
Une réaction d'insertion est une réaction chimique où une entité chimique (une molécule ou un fragment moléculaire) s'interpose dans une liaison chimique, en général d'une deuxième entité chimique : A + B–C → B–A–C ce terme ne se rapporte qu'au résultat de la réaction, et n'indique aucun mécanisme en particulier. On peut observer des réactions d'insertion en chimie organique, en chimie inorganique ou en chimie organométallique.
L'élimination réductrice est une étape élémentaire de la chimie organométallique dans laquelle l'état d'oxydation du centre métallique diminue tout en formant une nouvelle liaison covalente entre deux ligands. C'est la réaction inverse de l'addition oxydante et c'est souvent l'étape de formation du produit dans de nombreux processus catalytiques. Puisque l'addition oxydante et l'élimination réductrice sont des réactions inverses, les mêmes mécanismes s'appliquent aux deux processus, et l'équilibre du produit dépend de la thermodynamique des deux réactions.
