Description
Book SynopsisThis is the first volume in the series to concentrate on organo-lithium compounds - the sub series The chemistry of the metal-carbon bond (5 vol) treated organometallics in general.
It deals with theoretical/physical/computational apsects, as well as major spectroscopies, such as MS, NMR, IR/UV etc and both biological and industrial applications.
* The core of the volume is the synthetic chapters with lots of examples for modern synthetic approaches
* Written by key researchers in the field
* An invaluable reference source to organic chemists working in academia and industry
* Features important reagents in organic synthesis
