Book Description

Publication Date: June 25, 2004 | ISBN-10: 0470841591 | ISBN-13: 978-0470841594 | Edition: 2

This volume is not just another new edition, the text has increased by more than 50 percent, incorporating many new applications and protocols. All chapters on organo-alkali, -alkali earth, -titanium, -copper, -palladium, -boron, -aluminium and -tin chemistry have been completely revised and updated.

All contributions are written with practical laboratory work in mind, be it for undergraduate and graduate students learning the trade, or for the experienced industrial synthetic chemist expanding his/her repertoire with additional versatile reagents and catalysts.

This Second Edition presents:

• A unique collection of the best and most versatile organometallics for synthesis
• A judicially edited introduction to an important synthetic field written by world experts
• A day-to-day reference for synthetic chemists
• Theory and hands-on protocols for use in today's synthetic laboratories

Editorial Reviews

Review

“…can be used as a valuable introduction for researchers new to a particular area of research …. Also serves as an essential reference handbook ….”. ((Applied Organometallic Chemistry, March 2005)

From the Publisher

Deals with organometallic chemistry as applied to organic synthesis. 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. The level of the book is advanced, although not specialized, and so is attractive to researchers at all levels of expertise. An enormous amount of practical advice concerning how to choose the best methods and conditions and how to carry out and work up organometallic reactions will aid newcomers to the subject. Provides both the fundamental facts and the mechanistic background needed to fully understand why a reaction follows a given course and, more generally, the opportunity to evaluate the potential for organometallic chemistry in other areas. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

This review is from: Organometallics in Synthesis: A Manual (Paperback)

This is a very useful book for organic chemists. It states most of the important principles of the organometallic chemistry and with experimental procedures for most of the reactions. A very useful and practical handbook.
