Multiphase Homogeneous Catalysis: Common Procedures and Recent Applications
Publication History
Publication Date:
30 June 2010 (online)

Abstract
A top priority in the development of new catalytic processes is the challenging full separation of the catalyst components from the products. Only extremely small residues of metals or ligands are often tolerated in the final product, particularly in the case of active pharmaceutical ingredients; additionally, environmental and cost considerations urge the development of processes that enable the separation and reuse of the catalyst. Multiphase homogeneous catalysis provides technical solutions to these needs, as witnessed by the rapidly accelerating development of this field. Through the analysis of recent examples, the creativity in devising technical solutions for multiphase homogeneous reactions is outlined and the potential rewards are illustrated.
