Desmurs J-R., Ratton S. (ed.) The Roots of Organic Development

Elsevier Science. 1996. 578p.
The development of organic intermediates requires high performance and original technologies. This book reviews recent work on some fifteen 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, particularly catalyst-based technologies clean chemical processes, are described. A chapter dealing with reviews on sodium amidure and polymerisation inhibitors is included.ForewordAcknowledgementsFriedel-Crafts acylation : interactions between Lewis acids / acyl chlorides and Lewis acids / aryl ketones
