Author Description

Bridges the gap between the typical organic and organometallic texts by providing a current overall description of the chemistry of organometallics in organic synthesis in a digested form. Offers a highly systematic and logical account of virtually all the important aspects of the use of organometallics in organic synthesis. Primarily treats the reactant-product relationship, as well as some tentative but reasonable interpretations provided by the authors of individual papers and the author of this book. Over 1,200 references are cited, along with the great majority of relevant reviews and monographs.
