Abstract

Carbon–carbon bond formation constitutes one of the fundamental processes in organic synthesis and a wide variety of synthetic protocols have been developed to date for effecting this, amongst which organometallic reactions have played a major role since the discovery of Grignard reagents at the turn of the last century. Over the years, organometallic reagents have been developed utilising a range of metals in the Periodic Table, indium and gallium ...
