  • Chapter
  • First Online:

Abstract

Methylenation of carbonyl compounds is an important reaction in organic synthesis. In this mini-review, typical and most often used methylenation reactions are summarized briefly. The new Julia-Kocienski type methylenation reagents are fully summarized together with its reaction mechanism and applications to the total synthesis of natural products.
