Chemical activations methodology

A recent survey by Chemical and Engineering News noted that 19 companies account for about 80% of the chemical industry s sales and more than 90% of the entire industry s R D dollars. Therefore, fifteen firms were taken from a universe of 36 large industrial chemical firms. (See section on methodology.) In 1976, these fifteen firms accounted for 71.6% of R D expenditures. Finally, it should be noted that many of these companies are diversified and are engaged in various activities other than chemicals. Financial data presented in annual reports are often aggregate data and, consequently, it is difficult to determine the impact on R D related only to chemical activities. Although many companies have chemicals as one of their products, the companies selected for this project are predominantly involved in the manufacture and sale of industrial chemicals.

The preparation of heterocyclic compounds is one of the main branches of organic chemistiy due to the prevalence of heterotycles in various areas. More than four out of five of the best-selling drugs in the USA in 2013 have contained at least one heterocycle in their structure. Hence, efforts to develop efficient procedures to synthesize heterocycles are in demand. Nowadays, it is clear that current research is focused on mono-functionalized arenes, which are employed in C-H activation-functionalization reactions. But most of the developed C-H activation methodologies have met with problems such as harsh reaction conditions, high catalyst loading etc. As the topic of heterocycle synthesis has become more related to fine chemical synthesis and pharmaceuticals, there is more of a focus on the reaction efficiency, functional group tolerance and related parameters. All these points lead to one conclusion a book on heterocycles produced from double functionalized arenes is necessary. 

Keeping in view the all above fact, this book is intended to provide present and future generation researchers a single compiled reading material on fly ash and its recycled product, the zeolites. The under graduate, post graduate and doctoral students would find this very lucid to understand the potential of the fly ash, an industrial by-product. Above all, the students and the researchers would get state-of-the art methodology and mechanism of alkali activation of fly ash, the quality of the zeolitic products, and techniques to further purify them by chemical activation method.
