In fine chemical and pharmaceutical industry not only individual organic reactions but also the overall processes have to be optimized on an increasing scale with respect to cost-effectiveness, safety and atom economy. This book aims to elaborate on the various chemical strategies available for this purpose. It is meant to be useful to development chemists in R&D divisions of chemical industry, to process research chemists and to basic research chemists, with a passion to improve atom economy in organic reactions. The present structuring of the topic is aimed at stimulating their interest in critical areas of process development.
