Green Chemistry and Catalysis

R. A. Sheldon,Isabella Arends,Ulf Hanefeld

Description

The expression "Green Chemistry" is used to describe chemical processes that take into consideration sustainable development and environmentally improved products, as well as other aspects to make the reaction "cleaner". In recent years, this principle has become very important, with "Green Catalysis" a major topic within this field.
Written by Roger A. Sheldon and his co-workers, 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.

The result is a unified, indispensable source for all scientists looking to improve their catalytic reactions, whether in the college or company lab.

About the Author

All three authors are currently employed at the TU Delft. Their research is directed towards the development of atom-efficient, low-waste processes for the synthesis of high added value chemicals, such as pharmaceuticals and chiral intermediates. Within the framework of green chemistry the aim is to respond to the public need towards the 12 principles of green chemistry
