There is an increasing need to find cost-effective and
environmentally sound methods of converting natural resources into
fuels, chemicals and energy; catalysts are pivotal to such
processes. Catalysis highlights major developments in this area.
Coverage of this Specialist Periodical Report includes all major
areas of heterogeneous catalysis. In each volume, specific areas of
current interest are reviewed. Examples of topics include
experimental methods, acid/base catalysis, materials synthesis,
environmental catalysis, and syngas conversion.
Carbon-carbon bond formations and functional group transformations
are the most fundamental reactions for the construction of
molecular frameworks and are at the forefront of organic chemistry
research. The Morita-Baylis-Hillman (MBH) type reactions possess
the two most important requirements - atom economy and generation
of multi-functional groups. The last decade has seen exponential
growth of the MBH reaction and its applications. In fact, it is
already one of the most powerful carbon-carbon bond-forming methods
widely used in organic synthesis. Since the 1990s, more and more
research groups have initiated work on different aspects of the MBH
reaction. These have focused on the scope of the substrates, novel
catalysts (especially chiral catalysts), reaction mechanisms, and
synthetic applications. Consequently, there is now a need for a
reference detailing the chemistry of this important reaction. This
unique book summarizes the MBH reaction, aza-MBH reaction and
asymmetric MBH/aza-MBH reaction including the latest research and
mechanistic investigations. It provides a complete overview of
MBH-type reactions aimed at synthetic organic chemists of all
levels within academia and industry. The chapters cover the; origin
and growth of the Morita-Baylis-Hillman reaction; reactant classes
and reaction conditions; catalytic mechanisms; achiral and chiral
catalytic systems; transformations of functional groups; use of
Morita-Baylis-Hillman adducts and derivatives as starting materials
to construct compounds with carbocyclic or heterocyclic frameworks,
and the applications of the MBH reaction in synthesizing natural
products.

P-stereogenic ligands were among the first to be used in asymmetric
catalysis but synthetic difficulties and prejudices have hampered
their development. However, continuous screening for new chiral
ligands means that they can no longer be ignored and this rigorous
reference source reflects their renaissance. The book is filled
with many examples from recent primary literature. The synthetic
chemist will easily be able to follow the preparation methods which
are accompanied by a description of the challenges and limitations.
Those working in homogenous catalysis, and wanting to increase
their repertoire of ligands, will be able to establish which have
already been used in each reaction and their performance. This book
provides comprehensive coverage of the application of P-stereogenic
ligands in homogeneous catalysis. It begins with a brief chapter on
generalities of P-stereogenic compounds: history, configurational
stability, and interconversions among them.The book then goes on to
describe the main preparative methods, from resolution of racemates
to enantioselective catalysis, before focusing on the catalytic
applications of P-stereogenic ligands. Chapter 7 describes the use
of the ligands in catalytic hydrogenation and related reactions
whereas chapter 8 deals with other reactions, mainly C-C bond
forming reactions. The aim of these two final chapters is to give
an outline of the usefulness of the ligands in homogeneous
catalysis.
Fischer-Tropsch Synthesis (FTS) has been used on a commercial scale
for more than eighty years. It was initially developed for
strategic reasons because it offered a source of transportation
fuels that was independent from crude oil. Unlike crude,
Fischer-Tropsch synthetic crude is rich in olefins and oxygenates,
while being sulphur and nitrogen free. Consequently, the catalysis
involved in refining it is significantly different and only a few
catalysts have been developed for the purpose. Until now, an
account of this topic has been missing from the literature, despite
mounting interest in the technology. This is the first book to
provide a review and analysis of the literature (journal and
patent) on the catalysis needed to refine syncrude to
transportation fuels. It specifically highlights the impact of
oxygenates and how oxygenates affect selectivity and deactivation.
This aspect is also related to the refining of biomass derived
liquids. Topics covered include: dimerisation / oligomerisation,
isomerisation / hydroisomerisation, catalytic cracking /
hydrocracking and hydrogenation, catalytic reforming, aromatic
alkylation, etherification, dehydration, and some oxygenate and wax
specific conversions.

The aim of this book is to cover the very recent developments in
asymmetric organocatalysis, focussing on those published since the
beginning of 2008. The last decade has witnessed an explosive
growth in the field of asymmetric organocatalysis with an
impressive amount of new catalysts, novel methodologies, and
applications in numerous reaction types, such as nucleophilic
substitutions, addition reactions, as well as cycloadditions,
oxidations, reductions, kinetic resolutions, and miscellaneous
reactions. This very diverse and intensely developing field is too
wide to cover in a single review. The timeliness of the book
together with the expected impact is excellent, since nowadays
asymmetric organocatalysis is arguably the most intensively
developed field in organic chemistry. The book is designed to meet
the demands of a postgraduate textbook,containing case studies and
Q&A sections, as well as a practical book filled with facts and
data useful as a working tool for the practitioner. The book is
divided into ten sections, dealing successively with nucleophilic
additions to electron-deficient C=C double bonds, nucleophilic
additions to C=O double bonds, nucleophilic additions to C=N double
bonds, nucleophilic additions to unsaturated nitrogen, nucleophilic
substitutions at aliphatic carbon, cycloaddition reactions,
oxidations, reductions, kinetic resolutions and desymmetrisations,
and miscellaneous reactions.
Specialist Periodical Reports provide systematic and critical
review coverage in major areas of chemical research. Compiled by
teams of leading authorities in the relevant subject, the series
creates a unique service for the active research chemist with
regular critical in-depth accounts of progress in particular areas
of chemistry. Subject coverage of all volumes is very similar and
publication is on an annual or biennial basis. There is an
increasing challenge for chemical industry and research
institutions to find cost-effective and environmentally sound
methods of converting natural resources into fuels, chemicals and
energy. Catalysts are essential to these processes and the
Catalysis Specialist Periodical Report series serves to highlight
major developments in this area. This series provides systematic
and detailed reviews of topics of interest to scientists and
engineers in the catalysis field. The coverage includes all major
areas of heterogeneous and homogeneous catalysis as well as
specific applications of catalysis such as NOx control, kinetics
and experimental techniques such as microcalorimetry. Each chapter
is compiled by recognised experts within their specialist fields,
and provides a summary of the current literature. This series will
be of interest to all those in academia and industry who need an
up-to-date critical analysis and summary of catalysis research and
applications. Volume 21 covers literature published during 2006.
Carbon materials have, in recent years, been attracting attention
as potential supports in heterogeneous catalysis. In 2006, the
number of articles dealing with various types of catalysts
supported on carbon approached 1000, however only a fraction of
those were devoted to hydroprocessing catalysts, despite the fact
that interest in carbons as supports for hydroprocessing catalysts
began more than two decades ago. This unique book is a
comprehensive summary of recent research in the field and covers
all areas of carbons and carbon materials. The potential
application of carbon supports, particularly those of carbon black
(CB) and activated carbon (AC) in hydroprocessing catalysis are
covered extensively in the book. Novel carbon materials such as
carbon fibers and carbon nano tubes (CNT) are also covered,
including the more recent developments in the use of fullerenes in
hydroprocessing applications - an area with little published
research. Although the primary focus of this book is on carbons and
carbon supported catalysts, it also identifies the difference in
the effect of carbon supports compared with the oxidic supports,
particularly that of y-AL2O3. Although many books claim to have the
same objective, this publication is unique as the difference in
catalyst activity and stability was estimated using both model
compounds and real feeds under variable conditions. The conditions
applied during the preparation of carbon supported catalysts are
also comprehensively covered and include various methods of
pretreatment of carbon supports to enhance catalyst performance.
The model compounds results consistently show higher
hydrodesulfurization and hydrodeoxygenation activities of carbon
supported catalysts than that of the y-Al2O3 supported catalysts.
Also, the deactivation of the former catalysts by coke deposition
was much less evident. Importantly, in this book, most of the model
compounds studies on hydrodesulfurization and hydrodeoxygenation
were conducted in the absence of nitrogen compounds, as the
poisoning effects of such compounds on hydroprocessing reactions
are well known. Non-conventional metals (e.g., Pt, Pd, Ru, Rh, Re
and Ir) supported on carbon supports are also studied in this book
as catalysts for hydroprocessing of model feeds and real feeds. The
book shows that these catalysts are much more active than
conventional metals containing catalysts however the high cost of
these metals prevents commercial utilization of these catalysts.
Kinetics of hydroprocessing reactions, as well as kinetics of
deactivation over carbon supported catalysts are also investigated
under a wide range of experimental conditions and the y-Al2O3
supported catalysts have been included for comparison. This book,
unique in its field, indicates the future potential of carbon
supported catalysts during hydroprocessing, particularly in deep
hydrodesulfurization and hydrodemetallization.
