New paradigms for synthetic pathways inspired by bioorganometallic chemistry

Two series of particular examples of reactions used in bioorganometallic chemistry are described. One based on a decomplexation-complexation reaction, indicates how, starting from a cymantrenyl derivative, a range of organometallic complexes bearing various metals can be prepared. The second one refers to the easy synthesis in water of the very versatile Albertoʹs reagent, which leads to new organometallic radiopharmaceuticals of Tc and Re.
