After learning about the different kinds of organometallic reactions, we are ready to learn about transition metal catalysis. This is an incredible field that has pushed organic synthesis forward in leaps and bounds over the past 50...

Reactions that occur on the ligands themselves are quite common. Let's look at two common types of ligand reactions: nucleophilic and electrophilic attacks. Which types of ligands that are susceptible to these attacks and what happens?
