Abstract
The formation of new carbon-carbon bonds is a major component of any synthesis of a complex molecule. This chapter will focus on those reactions that employ a nucleophilic carbon. Referring back to Section 1.2, disconnection of a bond generated two fragments (RCa and RCd), where RCd was a donor or nucleophilic fragment and RCa was an acceptor or electrophilic fragment. The main purpose of this chapter is to discuss molecules that mostly contain Mg or Li, as well as the cyanide ion and alkyne anions. All of these compounds function as Cd.
