An extensive update of the classic reference on organic reactions in water
Published almost a decade ago, the first edition has served as the guide for research in this burgeoning field. Due to the cost, safety, efficiency, and environmental friendliness of water as a solvent, there are many new applications in industry and academic laboratories. More than forty percent of this extensively updated second edition covers new reactions. For ease of reference, it is organized by functional groups. A core reference, Comprehensive Organic Reactions in Aqueous Media, Second Edition:
* Provides the most comprehensive coverage of aqueous organicreactions available
* Covers the basic principles and theory and progresses to applications
* Includes alkanes, alkenes, aromatics, electrophilic substitutions, carbonyls, alpha, beta-unsaturated carbonyls, carbon-nitrogen bonds, organic halides, pericyclic reactions, photochemical reactions, click chemistry, and multi-step syntheses?
* Provides examples of applications in industry
This is the premier reference for chemists and chemical engineers in industry or research, as well as for students in advanced-level courses.
Rezensionen / Stimmen
"As it is a conference report, the book is clearly intended for specialists in the field." (Angewandte Chemie, 2008-47/11) "...a testament to the enormous expansion in the field of water-based chemistry, and compiling it in a single volume is very useful." (Journal of the American Chemical Society, December 26, 2007)
"Advanced students and research and development chemists with an interest in green chemistry are highly recommended to purchase this book." (Organic Chemistry Portal, January 2008) "Diese Aktualisierung einer klassischen Monographie fasst die bedeutenden Fortschritte auf dem Gebiet organischer Reaktionen in wassriger Phase in den letzten Jahren hervorragend zusammen."
