- New efficient and selective catalytic processes
- Use of non-usual media or environmentally benign reagents
- New selective and efficient synthetic methods
- New techniques based on alternative energy sources.
All these topics are covered in 15 chapters written by world-renowned experts in these fields who were the lecturers of the NATO ASI NeMeTOC (2005, Siena). Since some of the authors have an industrial background, the book helps to answer virtually any questions which may arise during the development of a new environmentally benign organic process.
