Homogeneous Isomerization, Amination and Silicon Compounds Reactions, a volume in the Advances in Homogeneous Catalysis series, is separated into three parts to provide comprehensive coverage of isomerization, amination and silicon compounds reactions with homogeneous catalysts. The first part presents isomerization of functionalized and non-functionalized alkenes. Homogeneous amination and hydroamination reactions are investigated the second, while the final part covers homogeneous reactions of silicon compounds. The comprehensive coverage of the subject means this volume will be particularly useful to help bridge the gap between chemists and engineer’s knowledge and use of homogeneous catalysis.
