A valuable introduction to
green oxidation for organic chemists interested in discovering new
strategies and new reactions for oxidative synthesis
Green Oxidation in Organic Synthesis
provides a comprehensive introduction and overview of chemical
preparation by green oxidative processes, an entry point to the growing
journal literature on green oxidation in organic synthesis. It discusses
both experimental and theoretical approaches for the study of new
catalysts and methods for catalytic oxidation and selective oxidation.
The
book highlights the discovery of new reactions and catalysts in recent
years, discussing mechanistic insights into the green oxidative
processes, as well as applications in organic synthesis with significant
potential to have a major impact in academia and industry. Chapters are
organized according to the functional groups generated in the
reactions, presenting interesting achievements for functional group
formation by green oxidative processes with O2, H2O2,
photocatalytic oxidation, electrochemical oxidation, and enzymatic
oxidation. The mechanisms of these novel transformations clearly
illustrated.
Green Oxidation in Organic Synthesis will
serve as an excellent reference for organic chemists interested in
discovering new strategies for oxidative synthesis which address the
priorities of green and sustainable chemistry.
