Short Description

The demand for increasingly clean and efficient chemical syntheses is continuously becoming more urgent from both an economic and an environmental standpoint. So-called green technologies are looking for alternatives, yet they focus on large quantities of hazardous even toxic solvents. One could even say that the best solvent is no solvent.
It is against this background that chemical synthesis without the use of solvents has increasingly developed into a powerful methodology. Once the chemical reactivity is increased, the amount of initial substances needed is reduced; in particular it removes the need for the complex recycling and disposal of solvents.
In this book, the third in our open "Green Chemistry" series, Koichi Tanaka describes the latest developments in this exciting field. Packed with advice on applications, this will be equally useful to practitioners in research as well as process chemists in industry, such that it is sure to become an invaluable reference source.

Solvent-free Organic Synthesis is a long-needed and timely compilation of experimental procedures that do not use solvents during the reaction step. Even better, it also includes numerous syntheses that do not require solvents after the reaction for extraction, chromatography, or recrystallization, because they yield pure products in the absence of auxiliaries...This is a must-have book for all students (perhaps through libraries) and academic or industrial researchers who honestly want to use and improve sustainable syntheses, and can also be recommended for administrators and referees who control the funding of such endeavors for the well-being of our environment.
