2017 Annual Meeting

Session: Catalysis for Pharmaceuticals and Fine Chemicals

This session focuses on catalysis to produce low volume, high value chemicals typically seen in the pharmaceutical and fine chemical industries. The session comprises topics on reactions that involve homogeneous catalysts, heterogeneous catalysts, bio-catalysts and photo-catalysts. The topics also includes interface of homogeneous/heterogeneous catalysis in continuous flow system for sustainable chemical transformation.
