<p><b>PRESENTS STATE-OF-THE-ART INFORMATION CONCERNING THE SYNTHESES OF VALUABLE FUNCTIONALIZED ORGANIC COMPOUNDS FROM ALKANES, WITH A FOCUS ON SIMPLE, MILD, AND GREEN CATALYTIC PROCESSES</b> <p><i>Alkane Functionalization</i> offers a comprehensive review of the state-of-the-art of catalytic functionalization of alkanes under mild and green conditions. Written by a team of leading experts on the topic, the book examines the latest research developments in the synthesis of valuable functionalized organic compounds from alkanes. <p>The authors describe the various modes of interaction of alkanes with metal centres and examine the oxidative alkane functionalization upon C-O bond formation. They address the many types of mechanisms, discuss typical catalytic systems and highlight the strategies inspired by biological catalytic systems. The book also describes alkane functionalization upon C-heteroatom bond formation as well as oxidative and non-oxidative approaches. In addition, the book explores non-transition metal catalysts and metal-free catalytic systems and presents selected types of functionalization of sp3 C-H bonds pertaining to substrates other than alkanes.
