An essential reference book for all synthetic organic chemists
The exceptionally useful chemical-reducing properties of
organosilicon hydrides have been known for more than half a
century. Since the early discovery of these properties, interest in
the use of organosilicon hydrides for the reduction of organic
functional groups has increased steadily and has led to the
development of many techniques for their deployment in chemo-,
regio-, and stereoselective transformations in organic
synthesis.
"Ionic and Organometallic-Catalyzed Organosilane Reductions"
provides an up-to-date, comprehensive survey of the literature of
this rich chemistry as it pertains to organic synthesis. Both ionic
and catalyst-mediated reaction types are included, with appropriate
reference to reaction mechanisms where they have been elucidated. A
wide variety of organic functional group reductions by
organosilicon hydrides receive critical comments and evaluation,
especially with respect to scope and limitations. A substantial
discussion of asymmetric reductions is also included in this
book.
The contents of the book are taken from the comprehensive review
of the topic contained in the "Organic Reactions" series and cover
the reduction of all organic groups. All known examples are
compiled in thirty-four easily scanned, comprehensive tables
compiled from 809 original articles. Updated lists comprising 256
additional references for the tables are provided that bring the
coverage up to March 2009.
The authors have been, and continue to be, involved in the
applications of organosilanes to organic synthesis. Consistent with
the goal of "Organic Reactions, " the content and presentation of
this text emphasize the preparative aspects of the reductions
focusing on the scope and limitations of the individual
transformations along with detailed experimental procedures.
"Ionic and Organometallic-Catalyzed Organosilane Reductions" is
an essential reference book for all synthetic organic chemists
working in academic and industrial laboratories.
