【簡介】 This multi-volume handbook is the first to cover all questions concerning homogeneous hydrogenation. As such, it presents the catalysts, the scope of their application, mechanistic aspects, asymmetric methods, combinatorials catalysis, recycling methods and industrial examples. In 45 clearly structured chapters, the book includes all hydrogenation reactions catalyzed by soluble transition metal-based catalysts. All authors adopt an applied approach, emphasizing those aspects important for industrial use. With some 2,000 illustrations and 50 tables, this is a must-have for everyone working in the chemicals and pharmaceutical industries, as well as for graduate students in chemistry. 【目錄】 Historic introduction and mechanism of homogeneous hydrogenation Hydrogenation kinetics Spectroscopic techniques in homogeneous hydrogenation Homogeneous hydrogenation of alkenes, alkynes and dienes Homogeneous hydrogenation of aldehydes, ketones, esters and anhydrides Aromatic and heteroaromatic hydrogenation Homogeneous hydrogenation of CO2 (Aromatic) Dehalogenation reactions Homogeneous polymer hydrogenation Transfer hydrogenation Diastereoselective hydrogenations Dehydrogenations of alkanes and alcohols Asymmetric olefin hydrogenation Asymmetric ketone and beta-ketoester hydrogenations (including mechanism) Asymmetric hydrogenation of alpha-ketoesters Asymmetric C=N hydrogenation Asymmetric transfer hydrogenation High throughput experimentation and ligand libraries Industrial applications Two-phase aqueous hydrogenations Homogeneous hydrogenations in neoteric solvents Immobilisation techniques Hydrogen activation in biological systems and model systems Transition metal catalysed regeneration of hydrogenase cofactors Catalyst deactivation Chemical engineering aspects
