Rhodium Catalyzed Hydroformylation
Search in google:
In the last decade there have been numerous advances in the area of rhodium-catalyzed hydroformylation, such as highly selective catalysts of industrial importance, new insights into mechanisms of the reaction, very selective asymmetric catalysts, in situ characterization and application to organic synthesis. The views on hydroformylation which still prevail in the current textbooks have become obsolete in several respects. Therefore, it was felt timely to collect these advances in a book. The book contains a series of chapters discussing several rhodium systems arranged according to ligand type, including asymmetric ligands, a chapter on applications in organic chemistry, a chapter on modern processes and separations, and a chapter on catalyst preparation and laboratory techniques. This book concentrates on highlights, rather than a concise review mentioning all articles in just one line. The book aims at an audience of advanced students, experts in the field, and scientists from related fields. The didactic approach also makes it useful as a guide for an advanced course. Booknews Contains ten contributions addressing developments in rhodium catalyzed hydroformylation over the past decade, focusing on advances made by academic and industrial researchers from Europe. Included studies address ligand effects, catalyst characterization, industrial requirements regarding stability and separation, catalyst decomposition, and applications in fine and bulk chemistry. Of likely interest to chemists and engineers in industry and academia with an interest in homogeneous catalysis, with backgrounds in inorganic, organic, organometallic, catalytic, and chemical engineering, as well as PhD-level students in related fields.
