Organometallics in Synthesis: A Manual [Paperback]

Manfred Schlosser (Editor)

Book Description

ISBN-10: 0471969613 | ISBN-13: 978-0471969617 | Publication Date: November 13, 1996

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.

Review

"... a clear, readable and up-to-date reference work needs to be in hand. This book offers just that." (Applied Organometallic Chemistry, No.16, 2002)

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 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.
