Catalysis for Fine Chemicals
-
Werner Bonrath
About this book
A wide range of chemical products (especially fine chemicals) are important for a healthy and enjoyable modern life; therefore efficient syntheses of these materials are essential. Traditional stoichiometric processes need to be replaced by modern catalytical methods in the change to sustainable chemistry and the production of lower amounts of waste.
This book summarizes the wide variety of catalytic methods that have been developed and applied on an industrial scale in recent years to fulfill this goal. The synthesis of compound classes such as pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, flavoring, and fragrance compounds as well as food additives such as vitamins exemplify the use of these modern catalytic methods in the modern chemical industry.
- An introduction to the fundamental principles of catalysis, process chemistry, and sustainable synthesis
- The modern chemist’s toolbox of heterogenous-, homogenous- and bio-catalysis for the production of fine chemicals
