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 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.
