Catalysis by metal complexes in organoaluminium synthesis

In this review a summary is given of studies conducted both within and outside the Soviet Union on the synthesis and conversions of organoaluminium compounds (OACs) in the presence of metal complexes as catalysts. The following reactions have been examined: catalytic hydro-, carbo- and cyclo-alumination of unsaturated compounds, cross-coupling and conjugate addition of OACs to enones, and certain other conversions of OACs in the presence of metal complexes as catalysts.
