Green Chemistry and Catalysis

Roger Arthur Sheldon, Isabel Arends, Ulf Hanefeld9783527307159, 352730715X

This first book to focus on catalytic processes from the viewpoint of green chemistry presents every important aspect: * Numerous catalytic reductions and oxidations methods * Solid-acid and solid-base catalysis * C-C bond formation reactions * Biocatalysis * Asymmetric catalysis * Novel reaction media like e.g. ionic liquids, supercritical CO2 * Renewable raw materials Written by Roger A. Sheldon-without doubt one of the leaders in the field with much experience in academia and industry-and his co-workers, the result is a unified whole, an indispensable source for every scientist looking to improve catalytic reactions, whether in the college or company lab.
