Summary

Many important Carbon-Carbon bond forming processes are catalyzed by Lewis acid reagents. There are important recent advances in Lewis acid chemistry. A variety of new selective organic syntheses are now available using modified/designed reagents. This book is a comprehensive laboratory guidewhich will prove invaluable to all organic chemists wishing to use these new Lewis acid reagents in modern organic synthesis. Both new and established chemists will find in this book all the necessary information they need to enable them to exploit these powerful synthetic tools.
