This book broadly describes the essential topics of the organic chemicals industry. In the past two decades, the organic chemicals industry has undergone unprecedented restructuring, complicated feedstock problems, and massive shifts of capacity to developing countries.

Key additions to this Second Edition include discussion of: Sustainability and 'green' chemistry; dendrimers metallocenes chemicals in biotechnology; specialty chemicals for pharmaceuticals, electronics, fire retardation, fuel additives, foods, and other uses; and, economic, political, and social concepts for understanding future directions of the industry."Industrial Organic Chemicals, Second Edition" presents the chemistry of both large-scale and specialty products while taking into account important political, environmental, and economic considerations.
