Numerous examples of innovant catalytic technologies could be cited, particularly in the field of homogeneous and heterogeneous catalytic hydrogenation. Nevertheless, we chose here to provide a rare insight into the industrial application of some very useful and atom-economic carbon-carbon bond forming reactions. We selected two examples among others as a good illustration of how catalysis makes the difference compared to conventional stoichiometric approaches. The first example deals with catalyzed cross-aldol condensation and the second example concerns catalysis of cross-coupling reactions.</p>}, number={7-8}, journal={CHIMIA}, author={Jacoby, Denis}, year={2021}, month={Aug.}, pages={634} }
