[en] The published data on the synthesis of organomagnesium compounds assisted by metal complex catalysts are generalised and described systematically for the first time. Hydro-, carbo- and cyclomagnesiation reactions of unsaturated compounds with R1MgR2 (R1 = Alk, Ar; R2 = H, Hal; R1 = R2 = Alk) catalysed by Ti, Zr and other transition metal salts and complexes are considered. Selected examples of applications of organomagnesium reagents to organic synthesis are given.

[en] The published data on the synthesis of organoaluminium compounds involving metal complex catalysts are generalised and systematised. Hydro-, carbo- and cycloalumination reactions of alkenes, conjugated dienes and alkynes catalysed by Ti and Zr complexes are considered in detail. The use of organoaluminium reagents in organic synthesis and novel reactions involving these compounds are discussed. The bibliography includes 240 references.
