Catalysis of Organic Reactions

Exploring topics such as immobilized and supported catalysts; solid-acid, base-metal, heterogeneous, stereoselective, and Raney-type catalysis; hydrogenation; amination; and industrial and commercial processes, this reference compiles the latest research on catalysis for applications in the chemical, pharmaceutical, and catalyst manufacturing industries.
Catalysis of Organic Reactions covers approaches for designing, modifying, and altering catalysts for improved function, performance, and stability....new methods to optimize catalytic reactions.......procedures to reduce by-product formation...and cost-effective alternatives for the hydrogenation of organic compounds....and compares various immobilization techniques.....studies catalytic processes in continuous and batch modes....and details the development of novel catalyst systems.
