Fluorous organic hybrid solvents for non-fluorous organic synthesis

Abstract

The rapid progress in fluorous chemistry shed the light on the use of fluorous-organic hybrid solvents for fluorous reactions; however, these hybrid solvents also have good potentials as solvents for ordinary organic synthesis. This chapter will survey the state of the art of the fluorous organic hybrid solvents as green substitutes for traditional organic solvents. © 2011 Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg.
