Improved vanadyl phosphate catalyst for making maleic anhydride
F O C U S describes the exact procedure for applying the additives to the substrate. It is important that the anatase substrate, containing the tungsten, has an iso-electronic point of <3.75 before adding the vanadium solution.

BOOKSHELF
Improved vanadyl phosphate catalyst for making maleic anhydride Vanadyl phosphate is the traditional catalyst for use in oxidising C4 hydrocarbons to maleic anhydride. It tends to lose phosphorus in use, and various means have been used to replace this phosphorus. In this patent, the phosphorus is replaced by

Modern Biocatalysis: Stereoselective and Environmentally Friendly Reactions A multi-authored international monograph with 65 contributors from 14 European countries. The emphasis is on making chiral intermediates: the commercial volume of single isomers of chiral drugs (not intermediates!) currently approaches US$200 billion. Summarises 5 years’ work by the EU-
funded COST Network D25, entitled ‘Applied Biocatalysis: Stereoselective and Environmentally Friendly Reactions Catalysed by Enzymes’. W-D Fessner and T Anthonsen (eds), 2009, WileyVCH, Weinheim, Germany, ISBN 978-3-527-32071-4, 375 pp, £110
Catalytic Asymmetric Friedel-Crafts Alkyations A multi-authored international monograph from 16 contributors. The F-C reaction was first described in 1877. Nearly 100 years later it was applied to asymmetric synthesis and its mechanisms are still debated. M Bandini and A Umani-Ronchi (eds), 2009, WileyVCH, Weiheim, Germany, ISBN 978-3-527-32380-7, 301 pp, £105
