Catalysis of Organic Reactions [Chemical industries v. 89]

Morrell Dennis G. (ed.) Catalysis of organic reactions [Chemical industries v. 89] 2003 [pdf 671sc 43.41mb] This text offers authoritative contributions from nearly 200 leaders in the field and new methods to enhance catalytic reactions. "Catalysis of Organic Reactions" covers approaches for designing, modifying, and altering catalysts for improved function, performance, and stability, procedures to reduce by-product formation, and cost-effective alternatives for the hydrogenation of organic compounds. Studying the phase preference, concentration, characteristics, and recoverability of recently developed and commercial catalysts, this is an excellent guide for chemical engineers; organic, medicinal, catalytic, physical, industrial, process, inorganic, and organometallic chemists and biochemists, and surface and environmental scientists. Sixty technical papers and poster summaries document the 19th Conference on Catalysis of Organic Reactions, held in San Antonio, Texas, in April 2002, sponsored by an affiliate of the North American Catalysis Society. Contributors from 14 counties, cover immobilized and supported catalysts, practical aspects of catalysis, solid acid and base catalysis, heterogeneous catalysis and commercial processes, Raney-type and base metal catalysis, stereoselective catalysis, and hydrogenation and animation. Francis J. Waller, with a Pennsylvania company, delivered the 2001 Paul Rylander Plenary Lecture on immobilizing homogeneous catalysts for organic reactions. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR This text explores topics such as immobilized and supported catalysts; solid-acid, base-metal, heterogeneous, stereoselective, and Raney-type catalysis; hydrogenation; amination; and industrial and commercial processes There have been many approaches published to "immobilize" a homogeneous catalyst.
