Organocatalysis: Fundamentals and Comparisons to Metal and Enzyme Catalysis

Organocatalysis: Fundamentals and Comparisons to Metal and Enzyme Catalysis

Catalysis fulfills the promise that high-yielding chemical transformations will require little energy and produce no toxic waste. This message is carried by the study of the evolution of molecular catalysis of some of the most important reactions in organic chemistry. After reviewing the conceptual...
