Name Reactions for Homologation, Part 1

This book continues in this well-established series of works by presenting a comprehensive treatise on name reactions in homologation reactions. Each section includes a description of the reaction, the historical perspective, a mechanism for the reaction, variations and improvements on the reaction, synthetic utilities of the reaction, experimental details, and references to the current primary literature. Primary topics include organometallics, carbon-chain homologation, radical chemistry, asymmetric C-C bond formation, and other types. This is a key resource for students, professionals, and academics in organic chemistry.
