"... industrial chemists will welcome the applied chemistry details
and the extensive references to the patent literature ... The book
is recommended to industrial organic chemists and chemical
engineers seeking environmentally friendly synthetic routes, and
processes, and for those looking for treatment options for
difficult waste streams. The monograph should be in every
industrial library."
*Organic Process Research & Development, 2000, 4, 232-234*
"... well-organized and enjoyable overview ... this useful book is
strongly recommended to anyone interested in oxidation or peroxygen
chemistry ..."
*Journal of the American Chemical Society, Vol 122, No 26,
2000*
"... a very useful book ... facilitates the location of primary
references including the patent literature. It can be recommended
for students and practitioners of synthetic organic chemistry,
environmental protection and clean-up, as well as catalytic
oxidation."
*React. Kinet. Catal. Lett., Volume 71, No 1, 199-200, 2000*
"The book has been well researched with an excellent bibliography
and should be a useful text for academics and industrialists for
years to come."
*Chromatographia, 2001, Vol 53, p 98*
"... an excellent reference and general text ... well-written, and
particularly suited to practising organic chemists from academia
and industry, at graduate and post-graduate levels."
