Contents:
Trends in homogeneous catalysis in industry -- Isomerization of Olefins -- Reactions of Olefins and Dienes - Hydrogenation and HY additions -- Polymerization and oligomerization of Olefins and Dienes -- Reactions of carbon monoxide -- Oxidation of Olefins and Dienes -- Arene reactions -- Reactions of acetylenes -- Carbene complexes in Olefin metathesis and forming reactions -- Oxidation of hydrocarbons by oxygen -- Esterification, polycondensation and related processes -- Homogeneous catalysis in halocarbon chemistry.

Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:

Contains a balanced discussion of homogeneous catalytic reactions that are used in industry, featuring every documented example employed in a current commercial process, or that have a broad application in the organic synthesis laboratory. Incorporates synthesis with chiral catalysts in chapters on hydrogenation, CO chemistry and olefin oxidation. New additions include Tennessee Eastman's coal-based acetic anhydride plant and IFP's Dimersol process for dimerizing propylene as well as major changes in the areas on pharmaceuticals, flavors, fragrances, agricultural and electronic chemicals.
