At the very latest, with the award of the 2001 Nobel Prize for work on asymmetric oxidation, there has been a need for a comprehensive book on such methods. Edited by J.-E. Bäckvall, one of the world's leaders in the field, this book fills that gap by covering the topic, from classical to green chemistry methods. He has put together a plethora of well-established authors from all over the world who cover every important aspect in high-quality contributions -- whether aerobic oxidation or transition metal-catalyzed epoxidation of alkenes.
By providing an overview of this huge topic, this book represents an unparalleled aid for any chemist working in the field.
Chapters include:
Recent Developments in the Osmium-Catalyzed Dihydroxylation of Olefins
Transition Metal-Catalyzed Epoxidation of Alkenes
Organocatalytic Oxidation - Ketone-Catalyzed Asymmetric Epoxidation of Olefins
Modern Oxidation of Alcohols using environmentally Benign Oxidants
Aerobic Oxidations and Related Reactions Catalyzed by N-Hydroxyphthalimide
Ruthenium-Catalyzed Oxidation of Alkenes, Alcohols, Amines, Amides, b-Lactams, Phenols, and Hydrocarbons
Selective Oxidations of Sulfides and Amines
Liquid Phase Oxidation Reactions Catalyzed by Polyoxometalates
Oxidation of Carbonyl Compounds
Mn-catalysed Oxidation with Hydrogen Peroxide

Wissenschaftlich-technischer Literatur gelingt es manchmal Perspektiven für die Zukunft aufzuzeigen. Dies ist besonders dann der Fall, wenn das Thema eng mit einer Verbesserung von Lebensqualität verbunden ist. In diesem Sinn leistet das vorliegende Buch in hervorragender Weise Anreize zu weiteren Erforschung von neuen, umweltverträglichen Oxidationsprozessen."Francesco Recupero, Department of Chemistry, Materials and Chemical Engineering, Giulio Natta Politecnico di Milano, Angewandte Chemie, 4.
