This work offers an essential resource for all synthetic organic chemists. The content and topics covered are completely new from the Second Edition , providing the most useful reference on organometallics for practicing researchers. The coverage pairs background information about the organometallic class, various preparation methods, and their use in synthetic reactions, with mechanistic considerations and future research opportunities for each organometallic class. Interspersed throughout are hands–on examples of organometallics preparation and their applications in organic synthesis. These are easy to follow with a recipe–like format, all thoroughly referenced to the primary literature.
