Volume 7: Compounds of Groups 13 and 2 (Al, Ga, In, Tl, Be ... Ba)
|

Introduction by Prof. Hisashi Yamamoto (Volume Editor): |
| This volume of Science of Synthesis is concerned with the organometallic, metalloorganic,
and organic chemistry of the elements in groups 13 and 2 with the exception of
boron, which will be discussed thoroughly in Volume 6 of Science of Synthesis.
The chemistry of these main group organometallics and metalloorganics has been
studied over a long period of time. However, the most important achievements have
occurred rather recently. In fact, recent advances in various analytical technologies have
allowed us to understand details of many reactions involving these classical reagents. In
light of the clear elucidation of various mechanisms, we now recognize the real role and
usage of these metal reagents to be even greater than first anticipated many years ago. |

The structure of this volume follows that established in the other organometallic
volumes of Science of Synthesis, i. e. the material is organized into methods for the synthesis
of the product class in question, with each method usually including a discussion
of the scope of the method, examples, and an experimental procedure. The product
classes are ordered according to the Science of Synthesis guidelines. A further section
titled Applications [of the Product Class] in Organic Synthesis is utilized when the product
class is employed as a reagent or catalyst in organic transformations. Synthetically important
but uncharacterized complexes are also described in this section. |
