The importance of solid base catalysts has come to be recognized
for their environmentally benign qualities, and much significant
progress has been made over the past two decades in catalytic
materials and solid base-catalyzed reactions. The book is focused
on the solid base. Because of the advantages over liquid bases, the
use of solid base catalysts in organic synthesis is expanding.
Solid bases are easier to dispose than liquid bases, separation and
recovery of products, catalysts and solvents are less difficult,
and they are non-corrosive. Furthermore, base-catalyzed reactions
can be performed without using solvents and even in the gas phase,
opening up more possibilities for discovering novel reaction
systems. Using numerous examples, the present volume describes the
remarkable role solid base catalysis can play, given the ever
increasing worldwide importance of "green" chemistry. The reader
will obtain an overall view of solid base catalysis and gain
insight into the versatility of the reactions to which solid base
catalysts can be utilized. The concept and significance of solid
base catalysis are discussed, followed by descriptions of various
methods for the characterization of solid bases, including
spectroscopic methods and test reactions. The preparation and
properties of base materials are presented in detail, with the two
final chapters devoted to surveying the variety of reactions
catalyzed by solid bases.

There is an increasing challenge for chemical industry and research
institutions to find cost-efficient 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 and also 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. Catalysis will be of interest to anyone working in
academia and industry that needs an up-to-date critical analysis
and summary of catalysis research and applications. Specialist
Periodical Reports provide systematic and detailed review coverage
in major areas of chemical research. Compiled by teams of leading
experts in their specialist fields, this series is designed to help
the chemistry community keep current with the latest developments
in their field. Each volume in the series is published either
annually or biennially and is a superb reference point for
researchers. www.rsc.org/spr
