Green Chemistry And Catalysis

Green Chemistry and Catalysis

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 materialsWritten 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.
