Review Stereochemistry of organometallic compound addition to ketones. 

On standing, the solutions of Eu and Yb decompose with the formation of a precipitate. The europium precipitate consists of the amide Eu(NH2)2, but the ytterbium precipitate is only 20-75% in Yb(NH2)2 (Hadenfeldt et al, 1970X Solution of ytterbium in liquid ammonia has been used to synthesize organometallic compounds. Addition of cyclooctatetraene to ytterbium dissolved in anhydrous ammonia yields cyclooctatetraenyl ytterbium, which is insoluble in ammonia, hydrocarbons and ethers but dissolves in more basic solvents such as pyridine or DMF (Hayes, 1969) ... 

The introduction of additional alkyl groups mostly involves the formation of a bond between a carbanion and a carbon attached to a suitable leaving group. S,.,2-reactions prevail, although radical mechanisms are also possible, especially if organometallic compounds are involved. Since many carbanions and radicals are easily oxidized by oxygen, working under inert gas is advised, until it has been shown for each specific reaction that air has no harmful effect on yields. 

In Grignard reactions, Mg(0) metal reacts with organic halides of. sp carbons (alkyl halides) more easily than halides of sp carbons (aryl and alkenyl halides). On the other hand. Pd(0) complexes react more easily with halides of carbons. In other words, alkenyl and aryl halides undergo facile oxidative additions to Pd(0) to form complexes 1 which have a Pd—C tr-bond as an initial step. Then mainly two transformations of these intermediate complexes are possible insertion and transmetallation. Unsaturated compounds such as alkenes. conjugated dienes, alkynes, and CO insert into the Pd—C bond. The final step of the reactions is reductive elimination or elimination of /J-hydro-gen. At the same time, the Pd(0) catalytic species is regenerated to start a new catalytic cycle. The transmetallation takes place with organometallic compounds of Li, Mg, Zn, B, Al, Sn, Si, Hg, etc., and the reaction terminates by reductive elimination. 

In addition, a catalytic version of Tt-allylpalladium chemistry has been devel-oped[6,7]. Formation of the Tr-allylpalladium complexes by the oxidative addition of various allylic compounds to Pd(0) and subsequent reaction of the complex with soft carbon nucleophiles are the basis of catalytic allylation. After the reaction, Pd(0) is reformed, and undergoes oxidative addition to the allylic compounds again, making the reaction catalytic.-In addition to the soft carbon nucleophiles, hard carbon nucleophiles of organometallic compounds of main group metals are allylated with 7r-allylpalladium complexes. The reaction proceeds via transmetallation. These catalytic reactions are treated in this chapter. 

Organometallic compounds which have main group metal-metal bonds, such as S—B, Si—Mg,- Si—Al, Si—Zn, Si—Sn, Si—Si, Sn—Al, and Sn—Sn bonds, undergo 1,2-dimetallation of alkynes. Pd complexes are good catalysts for the addition of these compounds to alkynes. The 1,2-dimetallation products still have reactive metal-carbon bonds and are used for further transformations. 

The addition of carbon nucleophile, including organometallic compounds, enolates, or enols, and ylides to carbonyl gro is an important method of formation of carbon-carbon bonds. Such reactions are- ctremely important in synthesis and will be discussed extensively in Part B. Here, we will examine some of the fundamental mechanistic aspects of addition of carbon nucleophiles to carbonyl groups.
