Organozinc Derivatives and Transition Metal Catalysts

Más información sobre el libro

Organozinc reagents are less reactive than Grignard reagents but they　are much more chemoselective. Since the　Negishi cross-coupling reaction developed by Ei-ichi Negishi, who was awarded the Nobel Price in chemistry in 2010, a number of cross-coupling reactions involving organozinc derivatives and transition metal catalysts (Pd, Ni, Fe, Co, Cu, …) has been tuned up to form C-C bonds. This book on „Organozinc derivatives and transition metal catalysts“ has been　written by experts in the field and is a complement to the book entitled „Grignard reagents and transition metal catalysts“ (a De Gruyter book, edited by J. Cossy). Grignard reagents or organozinc reagents, that is the question? From a given substrate, what is the best organometallic　reagent and the best transition metal to form a C-C bond by using a cross-coupling reaction? The solution might be found in these two books.
