Homogeneous Catalysis The Applications and Chemistry of Catalysis by Soluble Transition Metal Complexes

Contains a balanced discussion of homogeneous catalytic reactions that are used in industry, featuring every documented example employed in a current commercial process, or that have a broad application in the organic synthesis laboratory. Incorporates synthesis with chiral catalysts in chapters on hydrogenation, CO chemistry and olefin oxidation. New additions include Tennessee Eastman's coal-based acetic anhydride plant and IFP's Dimersol process for dimerizing propylene as well as major changes in the areas on pharmaceuticals, flavors, fragrances, agricultural and electronic chemicals.Parshall, George W. is the author of 'Homogeneous Catalysis The Applications and Chemistry of Catalysis by Soluble Transition Metal Complexes', published 1992 under ISBN 9780471538295 and ISBN 0471538299.
