Abstract
Chromium(II)-based methods have been developed for a wide range of important carbon-carbon bond forming reactions [ll. The emphasis in this review is on the more significant methodological developments, common mechanistic themes and the most recent research. The main thrust of research in this area has been to develop reactions which have no counterpart in conventional organometallic chemistry, or which show increased chemo-, regioand stereo-selectivity over known transformations. The review is organized according to the particular type of functional group that is reduced to an active organometallic agent. Much of the carbon-carbon bond forming reactions developed using chromium(H) chemistry can be broadly summarized as involving the coupling of an organic halide (or equivalent) with a carbonyl compound (eqn. (1)).
