Water, being cheap, non-flammable, non-toxic and environmentally benign, has been recognized as perhaps the ultimate green solvent. To date, development of green chemistry through organic reactions conducted in water and aqueous solution has become one of the most exciting research endeavors in organic synthesis.[1–3] Palladium catalysts are critically important in numerous chemical processes including CC bond formation reactions.[4–6] ...
