Description: In the last
decade there have been numerous advances in the area of rhodium-catalyzed
hydroformylation, such as highly selective catalysts of industrial importance,
new insights into mechanisms of the reaction, very selective asymmetric
catalysts, in situ characterization and application to organic synthesis. The
views on hydroformylation which still prevail in the current textbooks have
become obsolete in several respects. Therefore, it was felt timely to collect
these advances in a book.
The book
contains a series of chapters discussing several rhodium systems arranged
according to ligand type, including asymmetric ligands, a chapter on
applications in organic chemistry, a chapter on modern processes and
separations, and a chapter on catalyst preparation and laboratory techniques.
This book concentrates on highlights, rather than a concise review mentioning
all articles in just one line. The book aims at an audience of advanced
students, experts in the field, and scientists from related fields. The
didactic approach also makes it useful as a guide for an advanced course.
