Environmentally Friendly Catalytic Methods

摘要

The use of supported reagents as catalysts in liquid phase organic reactions can provide 'clean' alternatives to many traditional and environmentally unacceptable reagents and catalysts. Mesoporous support materials can give the best balance between reactivity and selectivity. Successful applications are diverse and include various acid-catalysed reactions such as Friedel-Crafts reactions, halogenations and nitrations, selective oxidations and base-catalysed carbon-carbon bond forming reactions.
