The Roots of Organic Development

This volume reviews recent work on some 15 basic technologies in intermediates development, including: hydrogenation; fluorination; chlorination; nitration; enzymatic catalysis; hydroxylation; alkylation; carboxylation and the Friedel Crafts reaction. Problems and industrial constraints involved in industrial development are highlighted from a research viewpoint, and new technologies with potential for use in industry are described. There is also a chapter dealing with reviews on sodium amidure and polymerization inhibitors.
