Recent Advances in Pd‐Catalyzed Reactions Involving the “On‐Water” Mechanism^†

Abstract

Comprehensive SummaryAs the chemical industry grapples with the need for more eco‐friendly practices, the use of water as a reaction medium is gaining traction in organic transformations. This mini‐review delves into Pd‐catalyzed reactions that utilize the "on‐water" mechanism, spanning from 2019 to late 2023. These reactions are neatly categorized into several types: (A) Catalytic C—H activations, (B) Mizoroki‐Heck‐type reactions, (C) Suzuki‐Miyaura reactions, and (D) Cyclization reactions. By showcasing the potential of water as a sustainable reaction medium for organic transformations, these reactions leave no doubt about the importance of embracing eco‐friendly practices in the chemical industry.This article is protected by copyright.
