Rezumat:

Besides the usefulness of the resulting products, the other main goal we need to follow during every present day chemical reaction (inorganic, organic or biochemical) performed in research laboratories or industry, is to be close to “ideal synthesis” (environmentally acceptable, resource efficient, available materials, one step, safe, simple, 100% yield). Literature examples and personal contributions towards these type of syntheses will be given and discussed (two-phase catalytic hydroamination of alkenes and alkynes, three-phase catalytic reductive amination of aldehydes and ketones, catalytic synthesis of dimethyl carbonate, carbonylation of alcohols and hydrocarboxylation of alkenes over supported catalysts, with a special emphasis on the role of catalysts and on the role of green solvents.
