Since the publication of our earlier book on transition metal
mediated organic synthesis, * there has been a widespread increase
of interest in this topic, and transition metal based methodology
has become firmly established in many areas of organic chemistry.
The direct, catalytic formation of organic carbonyl compounds using
carbon monoxide as the source of the carbonyl group has seen
exceptional progress, and this carbonylation chemistry is being
used increasingly in research and on a larger scale for fine
chemicals production. In view of these developments, there is a
need for a modem, practi cally oriented book dealing with
transition metal based carbonylation chemistry. The present
monograph should help fulfill this need, since it is intended
specifically to foster the adoption of catalytic carbonylation as a
general tool in synthetic organic chemistry. It deals exclusively
with reactions involving the interconversion of carbon monoxide and
organic carbonyl compounds, and although the majority of the
reactions discussed involve catalytic formation of carbonyl
compounds, potentially valuable syntheses requiring stoichiometric
quantities of transition metal are also included. In addition, a
chapter is devoted to the remarkably useful reverse transformation
(decarbonylation), in which an organic carbonyl group is eliminated
in the form of carbon monoxide."
Mechanisms of Inorganic and Organometallic Reactions provides an
ongoing critical review of the primary literature concerned with
mechanisms of inorganic and organometallic reactions. The main
focus is on reactions in solution, although solid-state and
gas-phase studies are included where they provide relevant
mechanistic insight. Each volume covers an eighteen-month
literature period, and this, the eighth volume in the series,
includes papers published during January 1990 through June 1991.
Where appropriate, references to earlier reports and to specific
sections in previous volumes are given. Coverage spans the whole
area as comprehensively as possible in each volume, and while it is
impossible to be absolutely exhaustive, every effort is made to
include all of the important published work that is relevant to the
elucidation of reaction mechanisms. Numerical data are reported in
the units used by the original authors, and they are converted to
common units only when comparisons are being made. The successful
format of earlier volumes is retained to facilitate tracing
progress over several years in a particular topic, and the series
now permits this to be done for a twelve-year period. The
introduction three volumes ago of computerized techniques to
improve cross-referencing in the Index brought positive reader
comments, and their use is being continued.
The current volume covers electron transfer reactions, substitution
and relation reactions, and reactions of organometallic compounds.

This series, Mechanisms of Inorganic and Organometallic Reactions,
provides an ongoing critical review of the published literature
concerned with the mechanisms of reactions of inorganic and
organometallic compounds. Emphasis is on reactions in solution,
although solid state and gas phase studies are included where they
provide mechanistic insight. The sixth volume deals with papers
published during the period January 1987 through June 1988
inclusive, together with some earlier work where it is appropriate
to make comparisons. Coverage spans the whole area as
comprehensively as practically possible, and the cited references
are chosen for their relevance to the elucidation of reaction
mechanisms. The now familiar format of earlier volumes has been
maintained to facilitate tracing progress in a particular topic
over several volumes, but some small changes have been made.
Reflecting the a'mount of mechanistic work associated with ligand
reactivity, and the growing importance of this area, Chapter 12 has
been renamed and enlarged to bring together informa tion on both
coordination and organometallic systems involving ligand reactions.
Numerical data are usually reported in the units used by the
original authors, except when making comparisons and conversion to
common units is necessary.

The objective of Mechanisms of Inorganic and Organometallic
Reactions is to provide an ongoing critical review of the
literature concerned with the mechanisms of reactions of inorganic
and organometallic compounds. The main focus is on reactions in
solution, although solid state and gas phase studies are included
where they provide relevant mechanistic insight. Each volume covers
an eighteen month literature period, and this, the seventh volume
in the series, deals with papers published during July 1988 through
December 1989. Where appropriate, there are references to earlier
work, and also to specific sections in previous volumes. Coverage
continues to span the whole area as comprehensively as possible in
each volume, and although it is impossible be absolutely complete,
every effort is made to include all the important for it to
published work that is relevant to the elucidation of reaction
mechanisms. Numerical data are reported in the units used by the
original authors, and they are only converted to common units when
making comparisons. The basic format of earlier volumes is retained
to facilitate tracing progress over several years in a particular
topic; this can now be done for more than a decade worth of
research. In the last volume, ligand reactivity of both
coordination and organometallic compounds were brought together in
Chapter 12, and, in response to numerous positive comments from
readers, this arrangement has been maintained. There have been some
similar suggestions about oscillating reactions, and this topic may
have a separate section in the next volume.
The purpose of this series is to provide a continuing critical
review of the literature concerned with mechanistic aspects of
inorganic and organo metallic reactions in solution, with coverage
being complete in each volume. The papers discussed are selected on
the basis of relevance to the elucidation of reaction mechanisms
and many include results of a nonkinetic nature when useful
mechanistic information can be deduced. The period of literature
covered by this volume is July 1982 through December 1983, and in
some instances papers not available for inclusion in the previous
volume are also included. Numerical results are usually reported in
the units used by the original authors, except where data from
different papers are com pared and conversion to common units is
necessary. As in previous volumes material included covers the
major areas of redox processes, reactions of the nonmetallic
elements, reaction of inert and labile metal complexes and the
reactions of organometallic compounds. While maintaining the space
devoted to other areas, that given to the nonmetallic elements has
been increased. In recognition of the increasing importance of the
determination of volumes of activation in understanding the
mechanisms of both inorganic and organometallic reactions a special
reference section giving tabulated Ll V* values has been included
and this extensive compilation will be updated in future volumes."
The continually growing contribution of transition metal chemistry
to synthetic organic chemistry is, of course, widely recognized.
Equally well known is the difficulty in keeping up-to-date with the
multifarious reactions and procedures that seem to be spawned at an
ever-increasing rate. These can certainly be summarized on the
basis of reviews under the headings of the individual transition
metals. More useful to the bench organic chemist, however, would be
the opposite type of concordance based on the structural type of
the desired synthetic product. This is the approach taken in the
present monograph, which presents for each structural entity a
conspectus of the transition metal-mediated processes that can be
employed in its production. The resulting comparative survey should
be a great help in devising the optimum synthetic approach for a
particular goal. It is presented from an essentially practical
viewpoint, with detailed direc tions interspersed in the
Houben-Weyl style. The wide scope of the volume should certainly
encourage synthetic organic chemists to utilize fully the range and
versatility of these transition metal-mediated processes. This will
certainly be a well-thumbed reference book R. A. RAPHAEL Cambridge
University v Preface In recent years an enormous amount of work has
been done on the catalysis of organic reactions by various
transition metal species and on the organic reactivity of
organo-transition-metal compounds."
