Organometallics in Synthesis (eBook)

Provides detailed procedures and useful hints on
organometallic reactions of Cu, Rh, Ni, and Au

With contributions from leading organic chemists who specialize
in the use of organometallics in organic synthesis, this acclaimed
Manual offers an especially valuable resource for all
synthetic chemists, providing a practical reference for conducting
transition metal-mediated synthetic reactions. This Fourth
Manual is divided into four chapters:

* Chapter I: Organocopper Chemistry

* Chapter II: Organorhodium Chemistry

* Chapter III: Organonickel Chemistry

* Chapter IV: Organogold Chemistry

Each of these newly written chapters features detailed,
practical examples from the literature that guide readers through
the preparation of organometallic reagents and their applications
in organic synthesis. Procedures are presented in the
Manual's acclaimed step-by-step recipe format, enabling both
novices and experienced synthetic chemists to perform all the
reactions with ease. In addition, the Manual features:

* Extensive background information on the organometallic
chemistry of Cu, Rh, Ni, and Au

* References to the primary literature facilitating further
investigation of all the reactions covered in the
Manual

* Mechanistic considerations to help readers better understand
how the desired products are formed

* Future research opportunities for each organometallic
class

Organometallics in Synthesis provides extensive and
detailed information enabling synthetic chemists to readily assess
the applicability of a synthetic method to a given need, and then
to perform the reaction with confidence. The Manual covers
both established organometallic procedures along with the most
recently published protocols.

Industrial processes are increasingly relying on organometallic
chemistry. In this Manual, readers will find applications to
such fields as natural products total synthesis, pharmaceuticals,
fine chemicals, biotechnology, agricultural science, polymers, and
materials science.
