Microporous and Mesoporous Solid Catalysts

Catalysts are increasingly used by chemists engaged in fine chemical synthesis within both industry and academia. Today, there is a huge choice of high–tech catalysts that adds enormously to the repertoire of synthetic possibilities. However, catalysts are occasionally capricious, sometimes difficult to use and almost always require both skill and experience in order to achieve optimal results. This series offers practical help for advanced undergraduate, graduate and postgraduate students, as well as experienced chemists in industry and academia working with catalysts in organic and organometallic synthesis. It features tested and validated procedures, authoritative reviews on classes of catalysts, and assessments of all types of catalysts.
Micro– and Mesoporous Solid Catalysts describes the use of zeolites and mesoporous solids as catalysts for the production of fine and specialty chemicals. Specific tips and hints are provided and some typical procedures are described in detail. In addition to discussing the pros and cons of various micro– and mesoporous solids used as catalysts, several major organic transformations are examined including aromatic substitutions, heterocyclic ring formation, amines synthesis, oligomerisation, oxidation and hydroxylation, and other regioselective and stereoselective reactions.
Micro– and Mesoporous Solid Catalysts features tutorial introductory chapters, including tips and hints for achieving successful organic transformations. Important reactions are featured together with recommendations to resolve potential problems.
This book is an important text for undergraduate and graduate students, and professionals working as practising zeolite and synthetic organic chemists in industry and academia.
