Organozinc Reagents

"Overall, this book is a superb summary of current trends in organozinc chemistry. The discussion is kept to a minimum, yet it provides helpful comments from many authors. Together with the clear diagrams, it provides excellent background material for those new to the area. The detailed procedures are the key feature of this book and should result in organozinc reagents having an even greater role in synthetic chemistry in the future. I recommend this book to all those either currently using or considering organozinc reagents."Chemistry in Britain,
