Organometallics in Synthesis

WINNER of the 2013 PROSE Award in Chemistry &Physics
This latest edition enables readers to master new classes oforganometallic compounds and syntheses
A popular resource used by synthetic organic chemists around theworld, this book enables readers to conduct seamless syntheticreactions involving key organometallics. Each reaction is set forthin the book's acclaimed recipe-style format so that readers caneasily replicate the results in their own labs. Moreover, eachchapter has been written by a world leader in the field oforganometallics in organic synthesis. These authors offer hands-onguidance and practical examples illustrating the preparation oforganometallics and its application in organic synthesis.
This Third Manual of Organometallics in Synthesisfeatures completely new content and topics, with an eye towardsproviding researchers with the most useful and practical referenceon the synthesis of organometallics. Organized into chapters bytype of organometallic compound, the book covers:
* Organoalkali chemistry
* Organomagnesium and organozinc chemistry
* Organosilicon and relating organotin chemistry
* Organoiron chemistry
* Organopalladium chemistry
Within each chapter, readers will find background information tolearn more about the class of organometallics as well asmechanistic considerations. The authors thoroughly discuss thevarious methods of preparing the organometallic compounds presentedin the book and outline their uses in synthetic reactions. Inaddition to current applications, the authors explore futureresearch opportunities for each organometallic class. References atthe end of each chapter enable readers to explore all the topics ingreater depth.
More and more industrial processes rely on organometallicchemistry. As a result, readers will find this book's step-by-stepinstructions essential in such fields as natural product synthesis,pharmaceuticals, fine chemicals, biotechnology, polymers, andmaterials science.
