Harness sustainable, environmentally friendly chemical processes with this timely volume

Green chemistry has played a leading role in the broader search for environmentally sustainable industry. One of its most important goals is the shift from volatile, hazardous organic solvents to environmentally friendly ones, of which by far the most promising is water. Cultivating organic transformations using water as a solvent is one of the most crucial steps towards the creation of green, sustainable chemical production processes.

Organic Transformations in Water provides a cutting-edge overview of water as a reaction medium for synthesis and catalysis. After a brief introduction, the book moves through each of the most important classes of organic transformation before concluding with a survey of industrial applications.

The book will also cover:

• Chemistry and physicochemical aspects of “on-water” and “in-water” reactions
• C–H activation, metathesis, nucleophilic addition and substitution, oxidation and reduction, and many more
• Asymmetric organic reactions in water
• Applications in organocatalysis, electrocatalysis, and photocatalysis

Timely and comprehensive, Organic Transformations in Water is a must-own volume for researchers and industry professionals looking to revolutionize their work in a sustainable way.
