Organometallic reactions
Reactions of organometallic compounds reflect the nucleophilic (and basic) character of the carbon atom bonded to the metal. Consequently, the most common reactions are electrophilic substitutions and additions to unsaturated electrophiles.
Commonly used solvents/reagents:
Butyl Lithium
Alkoxides
Sodium
Ethanol, Methanol. THF, MeTHF, CPME, MTHP
