Abstract
Water has been emerging as a versatile solvent in synthetic chemistry, particularly in organic synthesis. Water is used as the solvent, not just because it is inexpensive, more abundant, and for eco-friendly reasons. A more important reason is that water induces a new reactivity, particularly regioselectivity in many cases. For example, water was successfully employed as the solvent in many of the organic reactions such as pericyclic reactions, carbanion reactions, carbocation reactions, radical and carbine reactions, transition metal catalyzed, and multicomponent reactions. Also, the environmental concern has put much responsibility on chemists to use water as the choice of solvent for various reactions that they develop. In this chapter, we describe selected regioselective synthetic methods that are developed in water.
