Organic Reactions in Aqueous Media

By Tak-Hang Chan and Chao-Jun Li

From cost and safety to synthetic efficiency and environmental friendliness, water has many potential advantages as a solvent for organic reactions. This book examines different aspects of organic reactions in water, enabling readers to gain an essential understanding of current thinking on a range of reaction types and techniques. Beginning with basic theory and progressing to synthetic applications, Organic Reactions in Aqueous Media is an ideal platform for both advanced-level study and practical research. It covers these key areas: * Fundamental properties of water * Pericyclic reactions-including Diels-Alder reactions * Nucleophilic additions and substitutions * Metal mediated reactions * Transition metal catalyzed reactions * Oxidations and reductions * Industrial applications
