<p><b>Provides a unique summary of homologation strategies in organic synthesis</b><p><i>Homologation Reactions</i> presents different concepts underpinning the use of homologating reagents as well as their applications in organic synthesis. It covers in-depth discussions on the rationales governing this kind of transformations with a strong emphasis on mechanistic elements modulating critical aspects (e.g. selectivity) of the processes. In addition, this two-volume work features: <ul><li>Metal carbenoids, ylides, and diazo reagents</li><li>Homologating agents working under nucleophilic, electrophilic, and radical regime</li><li>Homologations realized on boron-containing or carbon-centered linchpins</li><li>Use of highly sensitive fluorinated homologating agents</li><li>Progressive homologations and the concept of assembly line synthesis</li><li>Homologation processes followed by rearrangement cascades</li><li>Construction of cyclic motifs and ring-expansion</li><li>Homologation reacti
