Alkyl metals

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingsChapterpeer-review

Abstract

The importance of alkyl metal derivatives lies in their great value as nucleophiles in C−C bond-forming reactions. This role places alkyl metals at the heart of synthetic organic chemistry and drives continuing development in the area. A thorough review of the preparation of alkyl metal derivatives was given in COFGT (1995) <1995COFGT(2)549>. The aim of this work is to provide an overview of developments occurring since the appearance of COFGT (1995) and to focus specifically on the synthesis of bonds between metals and sp3-hybridized carbons.
