An extensive update of the classic reference on organic reactionsin water
Published almost a decade ago, the first edition has served as theguide for research in this burgeoning field. Due to the cost,safety, efficiency, and environmental friendliness of water as asolvent, there are many new applications in industry and academiclaboratories. More than forty percent of this extensively updatedsecond edition covers new reactions. For ease of reference, it isorganized by functional groups. A core reference, ComprehensiveOrganic Reactions in Aqueous Media, Second Edition:
* Provides the most comprehensive coverage of aqueousorganicreactions available
* Covers the basic principles and theory and progresses toapplications
* Includes alkanes, alkenes, aromatics, electrophilicsubstitutions, carbonyls, alpha, beta-unsaturated carbonyls,carbon-nitrogen bonds, organic halides, pericyclic reactions,photochemical reactions, click chemistry, and multi-stepsyntheses?
* Provides examples of applications in industry
This is the premier reference for chemists and chemical engineersin industry or research, as well as for students in advanced-levelcourses.
