For economical and ecological reasons, synthetic chemists are confronted with the
increasing obligation of optimizing their synthetic methods. Maximizing efficiency and …

Organic syntheses are composed of two main types of reactions: Carbon-carbon bond
formations and functional group transformations. CC bond formation is the essence of …

Carbon-carbon bond formation is the essence of organic synthesis. Although the well-known
Kolbe synthesis was discovered in 18491*(the first observation was made in 1834 by …

The last 15 years of hydroformylation and carbonylation chemistry are reviewed, including
technical and commercial aspects.

Now in its second completely revised and expanded edition. Written by the renowned
editors B. Cornils and WA Herrmann, this book presents every important aspect of aqueous …

Transition‐metal‐catalyzed hydroformylation reactions constitute one of the most powerful
tools for C C bond formation in organic synthesis and represent an outstanding example of …

Water is truly ubiquitous. Approximately 80% of the earth's surface is covered by water,
although only 1% of this is drinkable water. Water is the solvent of life and makes up about …

Rapid developments in the field of catalysis are leading to an increased demand for tailor‐
made catalysts. Water‐soluble complex catalysts, which are being intensively investigated at …

The cage-like water-soluble monodentate phosphine 1, 3, 5-triaza-7-phosphaadamantane
(PTA) has received renewed interest in the recent literature due to its properties to solubilize …

This paper describes the beginnings and development of biphasic homogeneous catalysis.
With water-soluble triphenylphosphine trisulfonate as the ligand, Rh catalyzed …
