Green Chemistry and Catalysis

Focuses on catalytic processes from the viewpoint of green chemistry. This title presents various important aspects such as: numerous catalytic reductions and oxidations methods; solid acid and solid base catalysis; C C bond formation reactions; Biocatalysis Asymmetric catalysis; novel reaction media; and, renewable raw materials.

This first book to focus on catalytic processes from the viewpoint of green chemistry which presents every important aspect such as: 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; and, 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.
