Description: Over the past 20
years aqueous organometallic catalysis has found applications in small- scale
organic synthesis in the laboratory, as well as in the industrial production of
chemicals with a combined output close to one million tons per year.
Aqueous/organic two-phase reactions allow easy product-catalyst separation and
full catalyst recovery which mean clear benefits not only in economic but also
in environmental and green chemistry contexts.
Instead of
putting together a series of expert reviews of specialized fields, this book
attempts to give a comprehensive yet comprehensible description of the various
catalytic transformations in aqueous systems as seen by an author who has been
working on aqueous organometallic catalysis since its origin. Emphasis is put
on the discussion of differences between related non-aqueous and aqueous
processes due to the presence of water. The book will be of interest to experts
and students working in catalysis, inorganic chemistry or organic synthesis,
and may serve as a basis for advanced courses.
