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 CO 2 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.
