Alkylation of Carbon via Enolates and Enamines

  • Chapter
Advanced Organic Chemistry

Abstract

The alkylation of carbon nucleophiles by SN2-type processes is an important transformation in the synthesis of organic compounds. The generation and alkylation of such nucleophiles are described in this chapter. Alkylation and acylation of nucleophilic carbon species by other mechanisms are discussed in Chapter 2.
