Abstract

Maximizing synthetic efficiency and minimizing waste generation is a very important but challenging task in organic chemistry.[1] Much progress has been achieved in making synthetic chemistry more sustainable using strategies such as the replacement of classical “stoichiometric” methods with atom-efficient, catalytic, and selective processes,[2] the substitution of toxic organic solvents with novel media (eg, ionic liquids and supercritical ...
