4.3.15 Bismuth Compounds (Update 2018)

Abstract This chapter is an update to the earlier Science of Synthesis contribution describing methods for the synthesis of organobismuth compounds and their use in organic synthesis. Organobismuth compounds are organometallic species that contain a carbon-bismuth bond. These species have been used as catalysts and reagents in various reactions that lead to the formation of carbon-carbon, carbon-nitrogen, carbon-oxygen, carbon-sulfur, and carbon-selenium bonds.
