Description
Book SynopsisCatalysis plays a vital role in chemical, petroleum, agriculture, polymer, electronics, pharmaceutical, and other industries. Over 90 percent of chemicals originate from catalytic processes. Toughening economic and environmental constraints have proven to be a challenge for meeting the demand of novel efficient and sustainable regio- and stereoselective catalyst systems. Environmentally Sustainable Catalytic Asymmetric Oxidations provides a comprehensive overview of existing ecologically friendly catalyst systems for various asymmetric oxidation processes.
Topics include:
- A survey of existing transition metal-based catalyst systems for asymmetric epoxidations (AEs) with O2 and H2O2
- Asymmetric sulfoxidations with H2O2 on chiral metal complexes
- An overview of various transition metal-catalyzed oxidative transformations with H2O2 or O2<
