Carbonyl additions and organometallic chemistry in water

  • Chapter

Abstract

This chapter is devoted to aqueous carbonyl additions, with the focus on organometallic additions. Thus Barbier-type reactions in water, the success of which is increasing, are described at length in section 4.2. The subsequent section deals with conjugate additions, and section 4.4 deals with cross-aldol reactions, with special attention being paid to organometallic additions. Section 4.5 is devoted to organometallic pinacol couplings in water. Some miscellaneous reactions in which the carbonyl group is the reactive site are reviewed briefly at the end of the chapter.
