Comprehensive organic reactions in aqueous media /

An extensive update of the classic reference on organic reactions in water. Published almost a decade ago, the first edition has served as the guide for research in this burgeoning field. Due to the cost, safety, efficiency, and environmental friendliness of water as a solvent, there are many new ap...
