Abstract

In general, many achievements of synthesis in organic solvents inherently have the problem of pollution. Considering the requirement of green chemistry, the development of a more environmentally benign reaction would be desirable.(11) Thus, synthesis of organic molecules in water is an extensively investigated topic which entails the additional challenges of water tolerance for the catalyst(12) and the associated problem of substrate solubilities and reactivities. In this ...
