Consistent with the goal of Organic Reactions, the content and presentation emphasize the preparative aspects of the reactions giving considerable attention to the scope and limitations of the individual transformations along with detailed experimental procedures.
A tabular survey of all examples of carbonyl allylboration used in organic synthesis is presented in nine tables organized by type of allylic boron reagent with listings within each table according to increasing carbon number of the carbonyl substrates.

This text is a softcover edition of Organic Reactions, Volume 73 (ISBN: 978-0-470-43690-5). The literature is covered through December 2010, including a new listing of nearly 200 literature citations that supplement the original coverage of 834 references used in the earlier hard cover chapter. Carbonyl Allylboration is intended to be a useful, easily read reference book for all practitioners of synthetic organic chemistry working in academic and industrial laboratories.
