Wiley The Chemistry of Organomagnesium Compounds, 2 Volume Set: 172 (Patai's Chemistry of Functional Groups)

Review "This book continues the high standard of The Chemistry of Functional Groups series and is an essential resource for professional organic and inorganic chemists and their research groups who have an interest in organometallic chemistry. It could also prove useful in postgraduate teaching for designing a modern course on the subject. With the recent report of the first crystallographically characterized Mg - Mg bonded compound, this area is likely to increase in popularity and research activity; thus, the publication of this book is timely. A copy should be made available in every library that houses a section on advanced chemistry at the postgraduate level and above." (Journal of the American Chemical Society, November 12, 2008) Product Description Magnesium remains almost unique among the metals in its ability to react directly with a wide variety of compounds. This organic chemistry field has seen steady progress, and a volume on this topic is long overdue.  In the tradition of the Patai Series this title treats all aspects of functional groups, containing chapters on the theoretical and computational foundations; on analytical and spectroscopic aspects with dedicated chapters on Mass Spectrometry, NMR, IR/UV, etc.; on reaction mechanisms; on applications in syntheses. Depending on the functional group there are also chapters on industrial use, on effects in biological and/or environmental systems. Since the area of Organomagnesium Chemistry continues to grow far beyond the classical Grignard Reagents, this is an essential resource to help the reader keep abreast of the latest developments. From the Inside Flap Patai Series: The chemistry of Organomagnesium Compounds.A series of advanced treatises founded by Professor Saul Patai and under the general editorship of Professor Zvi RappoportThe Patai Series publishes comprehensive reviews on all aspects of specific functional groups. Each volume contains outstanding surveys on theoretical and computational aspects, NMR, MS, other spectroscopic methods and analytical chemistry, structural aspects, thermochemistry, photochemistry, synthetic approaches and strategies, synthetic uses and applications in chemical and pharmaceutical industries, biological, biochemical and environmental aspects. To date, over 110 volumes have been published in the series.Recently Published Titles:The chemistry of the Cyclopropyl Group (Volume 2) The chemistry of the Hydrazo, Azo and Azoxy Groups (Volume 2, 2 parts) The chemistry of Double-Bonded Functional Groups (Volume 3, 2 parts) The chemistry of Organophosphorus Compounds (Volume 4) The chemistry of Halides, Pseudo-Halides and Azides (Volume 2, 2 parts) The chemistry of the Amino, Nitro and Nitroso Groups (2 volumes, 2 parts) The chemistry of Dienes and Polyenes (2 volumes) The chemistry of Organic derivatives of Gold and Silver The chemistry of Organic Silicon Compounds (2 volumes, 4 parts) The chemistry of Organic Germanium, Tin and Lead Compounds (Volume 2, 2 parts) The chemistry of Phenols (2 parts) The chemistry of Organolithium Compounds (2 volumes, 3 parts) The chemistry of Cyclobutanes (2 Parts) The chemistry of peroxides (Volume 2, 2 parts) The chemistry of Organozinc Compounds (2 parts) The chemistry of Anilines (2 parts)Forthcoming Titles:The Chemistry of Hydroxylamines, Oximes and Hydroxamic Acids The Chemistry of Metal EnolatesThe Patai Series Online. the Patai Series is available in electronic format on Wiley InterScience. All new titles will be published as online books and a growing list of older titles will be added every year. It is the ultimate goal that all titles published in the Patai Series will be available in electronic format. For more information see under Online Books on: www.interscience .wiley.com From the Back Cover Patai Series: The chemistry of Organomagnesium Compounds.A series of advanced treatises founded by Professor Saul Patai and under the general editorship of Profess
