Biomimetic Oxidations Catalyzed By Transition Metal Complexes

This book is devoted to the field of biomimetic oxidations using transition metal complexes. Created 20 years ago, this expanding field has been covered by recognized experts in 14 different chapters written by James M. Mayer, Keith U. Ingold and Philip MacFaul, Jennifer L. McLain, Jinbo Lee and John T. Groves, Bernard Meunier, Carla Slebodnick, Neil A. Law and Vincent L. Pecoraro, Zhengbo Hu and Sergiu M. Gorun, Marie-Aude Kopf and Kenneth D. Karlin, Hans J. Kruger, Charles G. Young, Joan S. Valentine, Diane Cabelli and Dennis R iley, by Julia Limburg, Gary W. Brudvig and Robert H. Crabtree, Anne Robert and B. Meunier, Shun I. Murahashi and Naruyoshi Komiya, and Roger A. Sheldon, respectively. The volume is directed towards chemists (both in academic and industrial institutions) engaged in organic synthesis, coordination chemistry and chemical or enzymatic catalysis. We hope that students will enjoy the reading of this book after an initial academic background of two to three years.
