This first book to focus on catalytic processes from the viewpoint of green chemistry presents every important aspect:Numerous catalytic reductions and oxidations methodsSolid-acid and solid-base catalysisC-C bond formation reactionsBiocatalysisAsymmetric catalysisNovel reaction media like e.g. ionic liquids, supercritical CO2Renewable 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.
