In the mean time, synthetic organic methodology has experienced an explosive expansion, which is due to two fundamentally different types of developments: theclassical reactionshave been modified to become regio-, diastereo-, and enantioselective, and to become catalytic . The—mostly catalytic—use of transition-metal derivatives has enriched organic synthesis withnew types of reactions, which can almost all be rendered enantioselective by employing chiral ligands on the metal centers. Many of the resulting procedures for carrying out certain transformations have turned out to be of broad scope and to be generally reliable, so that—for brevity—they were named after their inventor in synthetic discussions, and that’s all about Name Reactions. It is, therefore, not surprising that several monographs on this subject have appeared and that new editions of books on Name Reactions are essential.
