Volume 79 in the venerable Organic Reactions series contains two chapters: the first addresses cross-coupling reactions of organotrifluoroborate salts, useful in the development of natural products, materials, and pharmacologically active substances; the second chapter addresses asymmetric transformations by deprotonation using chiral lithium amides, useful in target-oriented synthesis. The first chapter by Gary A. Molander and Ludivine Jean-Gerard describes the use of organotrifluoroborate salts in a modification of the Nobel Prize winning Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reaction. The impact...

The 96th volume in this series for organic chemists in industry presents critical discussions of widely used organic reactions or particular phases of a reaction. The material is treated from a preparative viewpoint, with emphasis on limitations, interfering influences, effects of structure and the selection of experimental techniques. The work includes tables that contain all possible examples of the reaction under consideration. Detailed procedures illustrate the significant modifications of each method.
