Catalysis of Organic Reactions [Hardcover]

This work presents a compilation of technical papers and poster synopses delivered at the 14th Conference on Catalysis of Organic Reactions. The book investigates current developments in the study of catalysis as it relates to organic synthesis, detailing industrial applications. It suggests cost-effective routes for the synthesis of valuable industrial and pharmaceutical chemicals. Kinetic Approach to the Catalytic Hydrogenation of Nitroaliphatic Compounds, V. Dubois, G.
