Recent progress in organic synthesis using transition metal complexes is reviewed. Emphasis is made particularly on (1) reactions based on the nucleophilicity and reducing ability of low-valent metals, (2) organo-copper chemistry, (3) reactions caused by the electrophilic activation of π-ligands by electron-deficient metal moieties, and (4) reactions of metal-carbenoids. The mechanistic aspects are also discussed briefly.
