Title : Catalysis in/on water: Future perspectives
Abstract:
The design of environmentally friendly methodologies has been the driving force of scientists in recent years. In particular, the use of biomass-derived materials, green solvents and alternatives techniques has been investigated. In this presentation, several green chemistry approaches that target advanced synthesis and processes will be presented. These approaches include: (i) C-C bond formation such as Suzuki-Miyaura, Heck and Tsuji-Trost cross coupling reactions in water; (ii) homogeneous and heterogeneous catalysis as well as micellar catalysis in water; (iii) alternative technologies such as microwave irradiation, high temperature/pressure, ultrasound irradiation; (iv) continuous flow processes assisted by microwave irradiation, ultrasound irradiation or not. Conception, synthesis and physico-chemical properties will be detailed.
