Abstract

Catalytic conversions of organic compounds are the heart of modern chemical industry. Few bulk or specialty organic chemicals are produced nowadays that have not been touched by catalysts either directly or indirectly in the synthetic sequence. This review of catalyzed organic reactions is limited to heterogeneous catalysts and mainly to chemicals of industrial importance having functionality beyond those of simple olefins and aromatics. Its aims are to illustrate the diversity of chemical transformations that can be achieved, to discuss the interplay of catalyst and chemical properties of the organic reactants, to show how various intrinsic problems can be minimized, and to suggest the type of catalyst suitable for various reactions.
