Abstract

A water-based biphasic reaction process has been developed for conducting exothermic reactions without organic solvents. This procedure is rapid, simple, and suitable for small scale synthesis as well as larger (multi-molar) scale reactions. The preparation of several hundred grams of clofibric acid and analogues by this eco-friendly and energy-efficient procedure is described. Smaller amounts of these compounds were prepared by the ...
