Organotitanium Reagents in Organic Synthesis

Mehr zum Buch

Focusing on advancements in titanium chemistry, this book explores its applications in organic synthesis, particularly through the titanation of classical carbanions. This process enhances selectivity in reactions involving organic compounds like aldehydes and ketones. The variability of the ligand X at titanium allows for precise control over the reagents' electronic and steric properties, aiding in predicting stereochemical outcomes. While achieving a complete understanding of structure-reactivity correlations remains a challenge, significant progress in organotitanium chemistry is discussed, supported by extensive physical and computational data.
