As the broad challenges around energy and the environment have garnered significant attention in research, scientists and experts have dedicated their efforts to developing more active and selective catalytic systems for key chemical transformations. For many decades, environmentally viable protocols for the synthesis of fine chemicals have remained the focal point of academic and industrial endeavors.

Heterogeneous Catalysis in Organic Transformations serves as a comprehensive overview of this field, offering a detailed account of the role of heterogeneous catalysis in organic transformations and providing a review of the current and emerging technologies and applications.

In this book, we delve into the fundamentals of catalysis, comparing the advantages and disadvantages of different types of catalyst systems. We examine oxide nanoparticles and noble metal nanoparticles, exploring their potential applications in various chemical reactions. Additionally, we consider organometallic compounds, solid-supported catalysts, and mesoporous materials, which have emerged as promising platforms for catalysis.

We discuss recent advances in metal-based heterogeneous catalysts and explore new reactions with potential mechanistic pathways. By providing a comprehensive review of heterogeneous catalysis, from the basics to recent advancements, this book will be of keen interest to undergraduates, graduates, and researchers in chemistry, chemical engineering, and related fields.

The significance of heterogeneous catalysis in addressing energy and environmental challenges cannot be overstated. By developing more efficient and sustainable catalytic systems, we can mitigate the impact of chemical processes on the environment and promote the development of cleaner and more sustainable energy sources.

This book aims to provide a comprehensive and up-to-date understanding of heterogeneous catalysis, enabling researchers and practitioners to leverage this powerful tool in their pursuit of scientific discoveries and technological advancements. Whether you are a student embarking on your academic journey or a professional seeking to expand your knowledge in catalysis, this book will serve as a valuable resource.
