The Stille reaction is one of the few reactions that can form carbon-carbon bonds under mild conditions and it is often used in the total syntheses of complex molecules as a way of coupling together complex subunits. This text is devoted to the single definitive phase of the reaction. Presenting the subject from a preparative viewpoint, it pays particular attention to limitations, interfering influences, effects of structure and the selection of experimental techniques. It includes several detailed procedures and easy-to-follow recipes for the casual user. It also underlines certain areas for...
