Handbook Of Reagents For Organic Synthesis - Catalytic Oxidation Reagents

The Handbook of Reagents for Organic Synthesis: Catalytic Oxidation Reagents is part of the Handbook for Reagents for Organic Synthesis series, making use of the leading reagent database e-EROS. It provides concise and informative articles written by experts in the area and provides comprehensive referencing to the original literature. As is the standard format for EROS, each article also contains an overview of the synthesis and physical properties of the catalysts, conditions for its storage, and purification methods.

The Handbook compiles essential reagents in this area, starting with an introductory section discussing the main classes of oxidation catalysts, followed by an alphabetical list of reagents, with an attempt to keep families of catalysts organized by related chemistry for ease of use. The Handbook concludes with a list of contributors and a detailed index.

The Handbook of Reagents for Organic Synthesis: Catalytic Oxidation Reagents if of interest for everyone engaged in the area of sustainable chemistry, fuel alternatives research for the generation of energy, and synthetic chemists working in pharmaceutical industries and medicinal chemistry.

Key features:

• Builds on the success of the previously published Handbooks of Reagents for Organic Synthesis
• Oxidations are the most frequently used steps in organic synthesis
• Catalysts for oxidation reactions are the key for green or sustainable chemistry
• Oxidation, the addition of oxygen to biomolecules, is key for the metabolism of humans and animals
• Oxidations of carbohydrates from simple organic compounds are the key for new renewable energies

Professor Philip L. Fuchs, Department of Chemistry, Purdue University
Philip Fuchs began his career at Purdue in 1973. Since that time, he has graduated an extended family of 55 Ph.D.s. His awards and honors include an Eli Lilly young faculty fellowship (1975), an Alfred P. Sloan fellowship (1977), a Pioneer in Laboratory Robotics award (1986), a Martin teaching award (1991), and being voted by the students as one of Top 10 Teachers in School of Science at Purdue (1991, 1993, 1995, 1996).
Fuchs has consulted for Pfizer, and Eli Lilly, served on the editorial board of The Journal of Organic Chemistry, and is currently an executive editor for the Electronic Encyclopedia of Organic Reagents (e-EROS), an online dynamic encyclopedia published by John Wiley & Sons.
