Presently, organic reactions in the aqueous phase have attracted attention because of the advantages of water, an environmentally benign and economically affordable solvent. However, the fundamental problem in performing the reaction in water is that many organic substrates are hydrophobic and insoluble in water. In continuation of our efforts to develop greener chemical approaches for the synthesis of novel reaction intermediates and heterocyclic moieties, [ 19 19. Murthy ...
