Résumé
Ecocatalysis is an emerging area of catalysis that has been well-developed over the past 20 years. Ecocatalysis displays a wide toolbox of biosourced mineral catalysts with high performances, selectivity and adjustable reactivity, while respecting the principles of sustainable and green chemistry for the preparation of ecocatalysts® and for the synthesis of compounds of interest. Ecocatalysis has successfully revisited most of the main mechanisms in organic synthesis that are presented in this chapter: Lewis and Brønsted acid catalysis, base catalysis, and reduction, oxidation, and cross-coupling reactions.
