Organometallics in Synthesis, Third Manual

This manual offersan essential resource for all synthetic organic chemists, providing the most useful and practical reference on organometallics for practicing researchers.The featured elements in this manual are alkali, magnesium and zinc, silicium and tin, iron, and palladium. Background information about the organometallic class, the various methods to prepare organometallic compounds, and their use in synthetic reactions are coupled with mechanistic considerations and future research opportunities for each organometallic class.The chapters, written by world-renowned organometallic chemists, provide hands-on, practical examples of the preparation of organometallics and their applications in organic synthesis - these are easy to follow with a recipe-like format, all thoroughly referenced to the primary literature.
