Introduction of alkali metal into the flask containing liquid ammonia is most easily done with a powder funnel, which temporarily replaces a part of the equipment The cleaned lumps of metal are held above the funnel and cut into pieces (for handling alkali metals see our previous book "Preparative Polar Organometallic Chemistry , Springer-Verlag, 1987.)...

Carbozincations constitute undoubtedly one of the most fascinating fields of organozinc chemistry. Whereas alkenes and alkynes are not traditionally considered as electrophiles in polar organometallic chemistry, carbometallation reactions offer many synthetically... 

Detailed information about the use, handling and disposal of strongly basic reagents and alkali metals is given in Chapter I of Preparative Polar Organometallic Chemistry, Vol. I [1],... 

Experimental information for synthetic problems in the field of sp2-polar organometallic chemistry can be obtained most efficiently via the Indexes and Chap. II. In many cases, however, this searching procedure does not give a complete solution, so that one has to look for procedures or combinations of procedures that give the best approximation. We shall illustrate the searching procedure with a few examples. In all cases one should read Chap. II before carrying out the derivatization reaction ...

Full details about working with liquid ammonia are given in Brandsma L, Verkruijsse HD (1987) Preparative Polar Organometallic Chemistry, Vol. 1, Chap. I, Springer-Verlag and in Brandsma L (1988) Preparative Acetylenic Chemistry, Revised edition, Elsevier. 

As in other fields of polar organometallic chemistry, the (commercial) availability of strongly basic reagents and the increased knowledge about their interaction with organic compounds have considerably stimulated the chemistry of nitriles and isonitriles.
