Organic Synthesis via Organometallics is an interdisciplinary project sponsored by the Volkswagen Stiftung to stimulate research and discussion of advances in the field. To improve international communication, leading experts are invited to regular symposia. In this volume, 17 lectures presented at the second symposium in W rzburg, October 1988, are collected. From the topics covered it complements the previous volume, edited by A. de Meijere and H. tom Dieck.
