Springer Directed Metallation: 24 (Topics in Organometallic Chemistry, 24)

Product Description This book provides the broad scientific readership with a comprehensive summary and critical overview of a topic in organometallic chemistry. A wide variety of catalytic functionalization reactions of C-H bonds by the utilization of a chelation have been developed recently and are comprehensively discussed in this book by leading experts. In addition, new approaches to directed hydrometalation and directed carbometalation as a key step are also discussed. Review From the reviews: "This volume provides summaries of transition metal catalyzed reactions where a directed metalation is involved. … Chatani has compiled seven reviews that are written by experts in the field, are heavily referenced, and are amply illustrated. This work also contains a subject index for this volume and an author index for all 24 volumes in the series. Summing Up: Recommended. Graduate students through professionals." (J.
