Innovative Catalysis in Organic Synthesis

C-H, C-O, C-C, and C-Heteroatom bond forming processes by using metal-ligand approaches for the synthesis of organic compounds of<br> biological, pharmacological and organic nanotechnological utility are the key areas addressed in this book. Authored by a European team<br> of leaders in the field, it brings together innovative approaches for a variety of catalysis reactions and processes frequently applied in organic<br> synthesis into a handy reference work. It covers all major types of catalysis, including homogeneous, heterogeneous, and organocatalysis, as<br> well as mechanistic and computational studies. Special attention is paid to the improvements in efficiency and sustainability of important<br> catalytic processes, such as selective oxidations, hydrogenation, and cross-coupling reactions, and to their utilization in industry.<br> <br> The result is a valuable resource for advanced researchers in both academia and industry, as well as graduate students in organic chemistry<br> aiming for chemo-, regio- or stereoselective synthesis of organic compounds by using novel catalytic systems.<br>
