This work compiles 64 papers by international scientists from academia, industry, and the governmental research-and-development sector, presented at the spring 2008 22nd conference organized by the Organic Reactions Catalysis Society. Papers shed light on recent developments in various aspects of the production, sale, and use of catalysts for practical purposes. Reflecting the diversity of the field, papers for the conference were chosen based on a wide breadth of topics rather than the traditional symposia organized around central topics. With a focus on application rather than theory, the dominant theme is the traditionally practiced area of heterogeneous catalysts. End uses covered include industrial petrochemicals, fine chemicals, and pharma intermediates. The book will be of interest to those working in applied catalysis. Prunier is affiliated with Eli Lilly and Company.
