Organometallics in Organic Synthesis 2

Helmut Werner, geboren 1942, studierte nach dem Abitur Orientalistik, Judaistik, Indogermanistik und Klassische Philologie in Frankfurt, München und Göttingen. Nach der zeitweisen Tätigkeit als Gymnasiallehrer trat er als Sachbuchautor mit dem Schwerpunkt Esoterik, Mystik und Geheimsekten der orientalischen Völker hervor. Er gab u.a Lexika, Anthologien und Sachbücher heraus.

Organic Synthesis via Organometallics is an interdisciplinary project sponsored by the Volkswagen Stiftung to stimulate research and discussion of advances in the field. To improve international communication , leading experts are invited to regular symposia. In this volume, 17 lectures presented at the second symposium in Würzburg, October 1988, are collected. From the topics covered it complements the previous volume, edited by A. de Meijere and H. tom Dieck.
