Heterogeneous Catalysis in Organic Chemistry

Book Description

The features of this book which will be of special interest to academic organic chemists are the introduction (Chapter 1), which presents a short course on the concepts and language of heterogeneous catalysis, covers organic reaction mechanisms of hydrogenation (Chapter 2), hydrogenolysis (Chapter 4), and oxidation (Chapter 6), a presents problems and solutions specific for running heterogeneous catalytic organic reactions in solution. These materials can supplement advanced chemistry courses.

Most synthetic organic chemists use a variety of "protecting groups" which they attach to functional groups (reactive groups of atoms) while some reaction is being conducted on another part of the molecule. These protecting groups prevent reactions of the functional groups during other reactions and are removed later by a heterogeneous catalytic method called hydrogenolysis. One unique feature of this book, not found in other books on catalysis, is an exhaustive chapter (Chapter 4) on hydrogenolysis, which is dredged from the recent synthetic literature published by modern organic chemists. Academic organic chemists should find this chapter extremely useful and may wish to adopt the book as a supplement for advanced organic chemistry courses designed for seniors and for graduate students. It will also be useful for professors and their research groups engaged in synthetic organic chemistry.

Many academic organic chemists are not aware of recent advances in heterogeneous enantioselective catalysis (Chapter 3) or in selective low temperature, liquid phase heterogeneous catalytic oxidations by hydrogen peroxide (Chapter 6). These specialty topics are timely and may be new to academic organic chemists and can be used to supplement their advanced courses.

Several features of this book will also be of special interest to industrial chemists who are unfamiliar with heterogeneous catalysis. Many good organic chemists are hire by industry. They synthesize a new compound using standard organic synthetic techniques but are informed by their supervisor that they must convert some of their synthetic steps into heterogeneous catalytic steps. They may not have been exposed to heterogeneous catalysis and have few places to turn. This book offers them a crash course in heterogeneous catalysis as well as many examples of reactions and conditions with which they can start their search.

Those industrial organic chemists already familiar with heterogeneous catalysis will find this book useful as a reference to many examples in the recent literature. They will find recent surface science discoveries correlated with heterogeneous catalysis or organic reactions and mechanistic suggestions designed to stimulate innovative nontraditional thinking about organic reactions on surfaces.

Heterogeneous Hydrogenation Made Accesible.......2000-04-08

For the advanced organic chemistry researcher who is entering the wonderful world of heterogeneous catalysis in general - and heterogeneous hydrogenation in particular - there is no single resource such as this to guide him. Working in the field of heterogeneous hydrogenation myself, I had felt that a modern, up-to-date, readable text was long overdue. Heterogeneous Catalysis in Organic Chemistry has all of these attributes and much much more. It will help you o brave chemist to safely navigate the enormous and often useless primary literature and reach what you were looking for. Be that experimental details for a particular transformation, current developments in the scope of the field, understanding of the underlying theory. I strongly reccomend all organic synthesis research departments obtain a copy. It will be invaluable for the whole range of staff, from the first year inexperienced graduate student nervously exploring the field, to the research group leader who wants to update his knowledge and understanding, painlesly, accurately and quickly.

Book Description

"Not using in-situ methods to examine catalytic processes is like studying a life with access only to the prenatal and postmortem states." This quote from the world renowned specialist in the field of in situ methods, Gabor A. Somorjai, clearly emphasizes the importance of these techniques in understanding heterogeneous catalysis - a type of chemical reaction used nowadays for most chemically produced supplies and fuels. Yet the fundamental mechanisms are often still not completely understood.
Many of the leading scientists in the field have contributed to this book which provides an overview of the most varied spectroscopic and related methods for studying catalytic structures and their functions during a chemical reaction. While primarily written for users of these methods, this is also a valuable aid to interpreting the phenomena observed. Indispensable for everyone working in the field.

Good book, bit expensive..........2006-09-07

All,
This book is a little bit pricey. That being said it is a must for those of us doing hydrogenations/reductions. The choice of catalyst/solvent/temperature is extremely important. The book provides very good summaries and references if you need more details.
Overall I am very happy with this book, it's one of the few good review books out there.

Book Description

This book represents a meeting of Eastern and Western thought, and is based on two main assumptions:

1. Our lives on earth are given to us as an opportunity for spiritual growth.

2. There is a timelss, mythic and magical dimension to our lives -- a dimension that helps us to experience and share God's love, both as the diversity of the physical world and as the mystical Unity that underlies it.

The book takes readers on a mythic journey patterned after the "Heroic Quest". Along this path, readers will discover their call to adventure and their mission, meet and learn from mentors, face challenges, and receive and share gifts. Ultimately, these journeys will show the way to re-union with God.

The book offers a total of 65 reflections, meditations, suggestions for creating a mythic life and instructions for casting a variety of prayer spells. The CD comes with the book and contains four short, guided meditations.

These adventures are challenging, exciting, and fun - fun, not because they are easy or trouble-free, but because they help us to live in the moment and rediscover the magic and wonder in the world. Fun, because they help us create a mythic life that's filled with love and guided by a purpose that transcends the dimensions of ordinary time and space.

Fantastic for Sunday School classes.......2007-07-18

The small church I serve has a "one-room schoolhouse" for our children, and since we follow the rotation model of Christian education, we do extended units on various Bible stories over several weeks. The children at our church LOVE to cook, and so I've used a number of recipes from this book. It is easy to read, easy to adapt for our setting, and the lessons are presented in a very fun and accessible manner for Christians of varying theological perspectives.

I bet it would be wonderful for families, too!
