The Chemistry of Organocopper Compounds

Copper in organic synthesis has seen a tremendous development over the past ten years. This text represents the most comprehensive survey on the use of Copper and Cuprates in organic synthesis. The first time that the Patai Series touches on Copper compounds, it contains contributions by leading experts, and delivers the quality expected from the Patai Series.
