Short Description
Catalysts for enantioselective syntheses are often only available via complicated procedures, their loss being a great economic drawback.
The solution is to fix the catalyst on a solid support, thus dramatically reducing the loss of active material. Chemists from industry and academia will find everything about modern methods of catalyst immobilization in this ready reference. After reading this book, the waste of valuable catalysts in your lab will be a thing of the past.
Homogeneous asymmetric catalysis offers reliable results and the possibility to 'tune' the catalysis on a rational basis. A pitfall, however, is that the separation of the catalyst from the starting material and products is difficult and often results in the loss of the catalytic material.
Immobilization offers a potential solution for the user of enantioselective catalysts in industrial processes and laboratories. Heterogeneous catalysis allows continuous operations, recycling of the catalyst, and an easy separation of the reaction products, reducing both waste and costs.
Chemists in academia and industry will welcome this careful selection of topics in this handbook that provides readers with practical and detailed information about the technical requirements for the immobilization of chiral catalysts, their application in synthesis, and methods for recycling.
