Using organometallic reagents to make -C bonds

In Chapters 2-8 we covered basic chemical concepts concerning structure (Chapters 2-4 and 7) and reactivity (Chapters S, 6, and 8). These concepts are the bare bones supporting all of organic chemistry, and now we shall start to put flesh on these bare bones. In Chapters 9-22 we shall tell you about the most important classes of organic reaction in more detail. 

You met these types of reactions in Chapter 6 in this chapter we will be adding more detail with regard to the nature of the organometallic reagents and what sort of molecules can be made using the reactions. The organometallic reagents act as nucleophiles towards the
