Science of Synthesis: Houben-Weyl Methods of Molecular Transformations is the entirely new edition of the acclaimed reference series, Houben-Weyl, the standard synthetic chemistry resource since 1909. This new edition is published in English and will comprise 48 volumes published between the years 2000 and 2008.

Science of Synthesis is a quality reference work developed by a highly esteemed editorial board to provide a comprehensive and critical selection of reliable organic and organometallic synthetic methods. This unique resource is designed to be the first point of reference when searching for a synthesis strategy.

Carbonyl and imino groups are two of the most integral functional groups employed in organic synthesis. Specific topics discussed: reduction, alkylation, alkenylation, and arylation of these groups, as well as asymmetric aldol, Mannich, and Morita-Bayliss-Hillman reactions.

In Science of Synthesis: Cross Coupling and Heck-Type Reactions, expert authors present and discuss the best and most reliable methods currently available for the formation of new carbon-carbon and carbon-heteroatom bonds using these reactions, highlighted with representative experimental procedures. Together, the three volumes of Cross Coupling and Heck-Type Reactions provide an extensive overview of the current state of the art in this field of central importance in modern chemistry, and are an invaluable resource for the practicing synthetic organic chemist.

This volume covers carbon-carbon bond formation, and, as a widely acknowledged recognition of the importance of the transformations described herein, virtually all of the chemistry described in this volume has achieved "Name Reaction" stature, and the chapters are organized accordingly. Thus, Suzuki-Miyaura reactions, Hiyama cross coupling, Stille coupling, Negishi coupling, and finally Kumada coupling are discussed in sequence, with a particular emphasis on breadth of scope rather than detailed minutiae.

This volume is part of a 3-volume set:
