Organometallics in Synthesis : A Manual

This book presents a practical introduction into the organic syntheses using organometallic reagents and catalysts.

Addressing the most important issues, it restricts itself to the derivatives of less than a dozen metals, focusing on those which are most versatile and frequently used.

Provides practical advice on how to choose the best methods and conditions and how to carry out and work up organometallic reactions.

Details the fundamental facts and the mechanistic background needed to fully understand why a reaction follows a given course.
