Synopsis

Organometallic chemistry has always been an important part of organic chemistry, but never more so than today. The expansion of synthetic methodology employing organometallic reagents and metallo-species in the lasttwenty years has been phenomenal.
Two major important roles which organometallic reagents play are:
Providing a means of activating small molecules like O2, CO, HCN and H2 into larger structures
Conferring diastereo-and enantioselectivity.
The applications of these reagents in synthesis ranges from the synthesis of drug candidates to the design of efficient large-scale chemical processes.
This book brings together experts across the whole range of fields associated with organometallic chemistry to provide a spectrum of up-to-date information.
It will be of interest to organic chemists and medicinal chemists in academia and the pharmaceutical industry.
