Modern Oxidation Methods, 2nd Edition

While rust is an unwanted oxidation reaction, there are also many other useful oxidation reactions that are extremely important and number among the most commonly used reactions in the chemical industry.This completely revised, updated second edition now includes additional sections on industrial oxidation and biochemical oxidation.Edited by one of the world leaders in the field, high-quality contributions cover every important aspect from classical to green chemistry methods:Recent Developments in Metal-catalyzed Dihydroxylation of AlkenesTransition Metal-Catalyzed Epoxidation of AlkenesOrganocatalytic Oxidation. Ketone-Catalyzed Asymmetric Epoxidation of Alkenes and Synthetic ApplicationsCatalytic Oxidations with Hydrogen Peroxide in Fluorinated Alcohol SolventsModern Oxidation of Alcohols using Environmentally Benign OxidantsAerobic Oxidations and Related Reactions Catalyzed by N-Hydro xyphthalimideRuthenium-Catalyzed Oxidation for Organic SynthesisSelective Oxidation of Amines and SulfidesLiquid Phase Oxidation Reactions Catalyzed by PolyoxometalatesOxidation of Carbonyl CompoundsManganese-Catalyzed Oxidation with Hydrogen PeroxideBiooxidation with Cytochrome P450 MonooxygenasesBy providing an overview of this vast topic, the book represents an unparalleled aid for organic, catalytic and biochemists working in the field.
