文档介绍：Preface
In 1972, a very powerful catalytic cycle for carbon-carbon bond formation was
first discovered by the coupling reaction of Grignard reagents at the sp2-carbon.
Over the past 30 years, the protocol has been substantially improved and
expanded to other coupling reactions ofLi,B,N,O,Al,Si,P,S,Cu,Mn,Zn,In,Sn,
and pounds. These reactions provided an indispensable and simple
methodology for anic chemists. Due to the simplicity and relia-
bility in the carbon-carbon, carbon-heteroatom, and carbon-metalloid bond-
formations, as well as high efficiency of the catalytic process, the reactions have
been widely employed anic chemists in various fields. Application of the
protocol ranges from various syntheses plex natural products to the
preparation of biologically relevant molecules including drugs, and of supra-
molecules, and to functional materials. The reactions on solid surfaces allow
robot synthesis binatorial synthesis. Now, anic chemists do
not hesitate to use transition plexes for the transformation an-
ic molecules. Indeed, anic syntheses have been realized by the
catalyzed reactions of transition plexes that are not achievable by tra-
ditional synthetic methods. Among these, the metal-catalyzed cross-coupling
reactions have undoubtedly contributed greatly to the development of such a
new area of “metal-anic syntheses”.
An excellent monograph for the cross-coupling reactions and other metal-
catalyzed C-C bond-forming reactions recently appeared in Metal-catalyzed
Cross-coupling Reactions (Wiley-VCH, 1998). In order to avoid overlapping with
previous publications, also in view of space limitation, this book is restricted to
the most recent and practical developments in this field. The book covers new
advances in the representative coupling reactions anoboron, -silicon, and
-pounds, as well as two new areas for carbon-heteroatom bond forma-
tion and the carbon-carbon bond formation via direct C-H substitution. The
actual practical
