Transcript of Metal Basicity vs Nucleophilicity and Reductivityy
ORGANOMETALLIC COMPOUNDS IN ORGANIC SYNTHESIS
CATALYTIC
Advantages = 'Difficult Reactions'
Disadvantages = Cost, Enviromental
Low Cost Metals
STOICHEIOMETRIC
Advantages = Cost, Enviromental
Disadvantages = May not be possible
High Cost Metals / ComplexesTransition Metals
This presentation looks at the synthesis, reactivity and STOICHIOMETRIC use of...
MAIN GROUP ORGANOMETALLICS AND ORGANOTRANSITIONCOMPOUNDS WHICH ARE ALSO HIGHLY NUCLEOPHILIC (OR BASIC)SOURCES OF "R-"
in the order....
