Application of Green Chemistry in Homogeneous Catalysis

Recent advances in the field of homogeneous catalysis with regard to green chemistry principles are illustrated. Both catalysis based on a broad range of metal complexes and different types of organocatalysts are covered by selected examples and reviewed with regard to the application of green chemistry principles in these reactions. The highlighted synthetic transformations range from oxidations/reductions to various methods for C C and C X bond formation and include both racemic and enantioselective examples.
