Homogeneous Hydrogenation with Non-Precious Catalysts

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.
