Development of organo- and metal-catalyzed reactions with water as the solvent

The work described in this thesis is devoted to the development of environmentally benign organo- and metal-catalyzed reactions through the use of water as the solvent. With the use of a “designer surfactant”, TPGS-750-M, copper-catalyzed conjugate additions in water using organozinc reagents formed...
