Homogeneous Hydrogenation with Non-Precious Catalysts

Book excerpt: A guide and comprehensive review of the most recent advances in homogeneous hydrogenation with non-precious catalysts In recent years a great deal of research has been applied to homogeneous hydrogenation with non-precious catalysis. Homogeneous Hydrogenation with Non-Precious Catalysts offers a review of the latest developments and advances in the field. In addition, the book explores the transition metal catalysis and the concept of frustrated-lewis-pair (FLP) and enzymatic processes. The editor?a noted expert on the topic?discusses the various catalysts and puts the focus on the synthetic vantage point, highlighting the functional group transformation enabled by the respective catalyst. Homogeneous Hydrogenation with Non-Precious Catalysts also presents the industrial view of the topic and includes an overview of the various catalysts by functional group transformations. This important book: -Offers a comprehensive presentation of the newest development in this emerging field -Highlights the transition metal catalysis, the frustrated-lewis-pair (FLP) concept, and enzymatic processes -Provides an industrial perspective of the topic -Includes an overview of the various catalysis by functional group transformations Written for organic chemists, researchers in synthetic chemistry, and industry professionals, Homogeneous Hydrogenation with Non-Precious Catalysts offers a comprehensive and accessible guide to the most recent advances in the field.
