New protocols for the chemo-, regio- and stereoselective formation of C - C bonds via organometallics also by using innovative synthetic techniques

The purpose of this project has been to disclose the yet unexplored potential of organometallics to make new C-C bonds with selectivity. A particular attention has been paid to organozinc halides and to the use of new synthetic tools, in particular, to the use of water and surfactants as the reaction solvent. The procedures developed have been prompted by the need for simple methods, with potential industrial applicability, and in agreement with the principles of the green chemistry as much as possible.
