Document Summary

If the carbonyl is not symmetrical, stereoisomers will be formed. Some similarities to grignard reagents but are based on copper instead of magnesium. Gilman reagents can react with alkyl or aryl halides (r-x, x=cl, Unlike grignards which are better suited for reactions with. A decrease in electron density on carbon. Forming bonds between carbon and very en atoms (eg. halogens) Breaking bonds between carbon and non en atoms (eg. h) An increase in electron density on carbon. Forming bonds between carbon and non en atoms (eg. h)
