The chemistry of Organomagnesium Compounds in 2 part

Magnesium remains almost unique among the metals in its ability to react directly with a wide variety of compounds. This organic chemistry field has seen steady progress, and a volume on this topic is long overdue. In the tradition of the "Patai Series", this title treats all aspects of functional groups, containing chapters on the theoretical and computational foundations; on analytical and spectroscopic aspects with dedicated chapters on Mass Spectrometry, NMR, IR/UV, etc.; on reaction mechanisms; and, on applications in syntheses. Depending on the functional group there are also chapters on industrial use, on effects in biological and/or environmental systems. Since the area of Organomagnesium Chemistry continues to grow far beyond the classical Grignard Reagents, this is an essential resource to help the reader keep abreast of the latest developments The chemistry ofOrganomagnesium Compounds......Page 1 Contributing authors......Page 7 Foreword......Page 10 TheChemistry of FunctionalGroupsPreface to the series......Page 11 Contents......Page 13 CHAPTER 1-Structural organomagnesiumchemistry......Page 27 CHAPTER 2-The thermochemistry oforganomagnesium compounds......Page 126 CHAPTER 3-NMR of organomagnesiumcompounds......Page 155 CHAPTER 4-Formation, chemistry and structureof organomagnesium species insolvent-free environments......Page 179 CHAPTER 5-Photochemical transformationsinvolving magnesium porphyrinsand phthalocyanines......Page 212 CHAPTER 6-Electrochemistry oforganomagnesium compounds......Page 242 CHAPTER 7-Analytical aspects oforganomagnesium compounds......Page 287 CHAPTER 8-Biochemistry of magnesium......Page 337 CHAPTER 9-Theoretical studies of the additionof RMgX to carbonyl compounds......Page 390 CHAPTER 10-Organomagnesium-group 15- andOrganomagnesium-group16-bonded complexes......Page 424 CHAPTER 11-Preparation and reactivityof magnesium enolates......Page 458 CHAPTER 12-Functionalized organomagnesiumcompounds: Synthesisand reactivity......Page 531 CHAPTER 13-Iron-Catalyzed Reactionsof Grignard Reagents......Page 614 CHAPTER 14-Carbomagnesiation reactions......Page 650 CHAPTER 15-The chemistry oforganomagnesium atecomplexes......Page 699 CHAPTER 16-The chemistry of magnesiumcarbenoids......Page 734 CHAPTER 17-Catalytic enantioselectiveconjugate addition and allylicalkylation reactions usingGrignard reagents......Page 787 Author Index......Page 819 Subject Index......Page 871

Magnesium remains almost unique among the metals in its ability to react directly with a wide variety of compounds. This organic chemistry field has seen steady progress, and a volume on this topic is long overdue.  In the tradition of the Patai Series this title treats all aspects of functional groups, containing chapters on the theoretical and computational foundations; on analytical and spectroscopic aspects with dedicated chapters on Mass Spectrometry, NMR, IR/UV, etc.; on reaction mechanisms; on applications in syntheses. Depending on the functional group there are also chapters on industrial use, on effects in biological and/or environmental systems. Since the area of Organomagnesium Chemistry continues to grow far beyond the classical Grignard Reagents, this is an essential resource to help the reader keep abreast of the latest developments.

The Chemistry of Organomagnesium Compounds, the newest volume in the critically acclaimed Patai Series, explores the compound of Magnesium. The field has seen steady progress, and a volume on this topic has long been overdue.
