CRC Press – 1994 – 624 pages
Series: Chemical Industries
Based on the papers and posters presented at the 15th Conference on Catalysis of Organic Reactions, this work covers developments in the study of catalysis as it relates to organic synthesis, emphasizing applications in industrial processes. Over 1000 bibliographic citations and over 250 tables, drawings, and photographs are provided. Theoretical and practical aspects of the field are highlighted.
". . .the works published in this book. . .give a good overview of the state-of-the-art in catalysis of organic reactions. The information and the abundant practical examples given, make this book a well-suited reference source. "
"This volume contains a large number of contributions by experts in various fields of catalysis and as such provides a wealth of information on a wide range of aspects of catalysis. . .it is a useful addition to the bookshelf for those involved in catalysis. "
