“Solvent-free Organic Synthesis is a long-needed and timely compilation of experimental procedures that do not use solvents during the reaction step. Even better, it also includes numerous syntheses that do not require solvents after the reaction for extraction, chromatography, or recrystallization, because they yield pure products in the absence of auxiliaries…This is a must-have book for all students (perhaps through libraries) and academic or industrial researchers who honestly want to use and improve sustainable syntheses, and can also be recommended for administrators and referees who control the funding of such endeavors for the well-being of our environment.”

Solvent-free Organic Synthesis ist eine lange erwartete aktuelle Zusammenstellung experimenteller Syntheseprozesse, bei denen während des Reaktionsschritts keine Lösungsmittel verwendet werden. Und noch besser, es werden auch viele bekannte Reaktionen vorgestellt, die nach der Reaktion kein Lösungsmittel für Extraktion, Chromatographie oder Umkristallisation benötigen, weil sie reine Produkte liefern, die nicht mit Hilfsstoffen vermischt sind…Dieses Buch ist ein Muss für alle Studierenden (Bibliotheken) und akademischen sowie industriellen Forscher, die nachhaltige Synthesen nutzen und verbessern wollen, sowie für alle Förderorganisationen, die das Wohlergehen unserer Umwelt ermöglichen.

“Der Autor präsentiert eine Zusammenstellung von lösemittelfreien Syntheseverfahren aus den bekannten Fachzeitschriften der Chemie. Dabei gelingt es ihm durch Vielfalt zu überzeugen, ohne jedoch die Übersicht zu verlieren.”

From the Back Cover
Synthetic chemistry has long been dominated by reactions in solvents that are all too often toxic or otherwise damaging to the environment. Thus, when it comes to minimizing the amount of toxic waste, solvents are an especially important factor, since they are usually used in large quantities. The introduction of cleaner technologies to replace harmful solvents has become a major concern. Yet the greenest solvent is no solvent at all.
In this second edition of a best-selling handbook all the chapters have been completely revised and updated, while four completely new chapters have been added. In order to meet the needs of the practitioner, emphasis is placed on describing precisely the technology and know-how involved. Adopting a didactic and comprehensible approach, the book guides the reader through theory and applications, thus ensuring its warm welcome among the scientific community.
An excellent, essential and exhaustive overview for chemists, as well as organic, polymer and physical chemists, and those working in industry.
