Organic reactions in high-temperature and supercritical water

Abstract

This paper describes various examples of organic reactions carried out in high-temperature water (HTW) that have been performed at the University of Nottingham using either batch-type reactors or continuous-flow systems. Homogeneously and heterogeneously catalyzed partial oxidations of aromatic compounds, in situ hydrogenations, heterocyclic reactions, hydrolysis (HYD), saponification (SAP), and deuteration reactions are presented. © 2006 IUPAC.
