This new volume in the venerable Organic Reactions series comprises two chapters written in part by the inventors of the unique and important name reactions discussed in these chapters. The first chapter describes a truly remarkable transformation of carboxylic acid derivatives into heteroatom-substituted cyclopropanes, now known as Kulinkovich Cyclopropanation. The second chapter represents an homage to one of the giants of organic chemistry, Sir Derek H. R. Barton. This chapter covers the radical deoxygenation of secondary alcohols that has become known as the Barton-McCombie Reaction.

The 97th volume in this series for organic chemists in industry presents critical discussions of widely used organic reactions or particular phases of a reaction. The material is treated from a preparative viewpoint, with emphasis on limitations, interfering influences, effects of structure and the selection of experimental techniques. The work includes tables that contain all possible examples of the reaction under consideration. Detailed procedures illustrate the significant modifications of each method.

The two chapters in Volume 84 describe transition metal catalyzed processes that form carbon-carbon bonds and carbon-oxygen bonds in very interesting and practical ways. The first chapter authored by Christina Moberg describes an important subset of one of the earliest and most important enantioselective carbon-carbon bond forming reactions that employ transition metal complexes, namely molybdenum-catalyzed, asymmetric allylic alkylations. The second chapter authored by Brian W. Michel, Laura D. Steffens, and Matthew S. Sigman deals with one of the oldest examples of transition metal catalyzed oxidation, known as the Wacker process.

Volume 88 represents the tenth single-chapter-volume produced in our 73-year history. Such single-chapter volumes represent definitive treatises on extremely important chemical transformations. The success of the research efforts over the past 20 years forms the basis for the single chapter in this volume namely, Hydroamination of Alkenes by Alexander L. Reznichenko and Kai C. Hultzsch. The authors have compiled an enormous (and growing) literature and distilled it into an extraordinarily useful treatise on all aspects of the hydroamination process.
