Sustainable Catalysis - Challenges and Practices for the Pharmaceutical and Fine Chemical Industries

Covering key areas that are particularly important for the fine chemical and pharmaceutical industries, this book highlights current challenges and encourages greater research into green organic synthesis and catalytic methodology.

It uniquely unites academic and industrial contributors for a balanced treatment of current innovations from academia and case studies from industry practice.

For each reaction, a description of the current state-of-art is provided, including the scope and limitations, then illustrated with examples.

This offers organic and process chemists an invaluable reference for applying key reactions in sustainable catalysis.
