The most important developments in heterocyclic chemistry in the last twenty or so years are probably in the area of organometallic chemistry, particularly transition-metal-catalysed reactions and the reactions of lithio-derivatives, reflecting development in these areas in organic chemistry as a whole. Even since the 3rd Edition of this book, significant further advances have been made, with improved preparations of boron, magnesium, and zinc compounds and with new ligands for palladium-catalysed reactions which considerably broaden their scope.
