Solid Phase Synthesis Using Organometallic Reagents

The scope of organometallic reactions on solid phase has lately expanded to include many new reactions. In this review, we summarise the recent developments in this area, covering reactions such as metathesis, carbene insertion, radical-mediated transformations, the use of organomagnesium, organozinc and organocopper reagents, applications of titanium alkylidenes for alkene synthesis, as well as the Pauson-Khand reaction, hydroformylation and other methods using metal carbonyl reagents. Palladium-catalysed reactions are not included as this area has been recently reviewed (vide infra).
