Abstract

Recent advances in free radical chemistry have expanded the versatility and flexibility of carbon-carbon bond formation in water or aqueous media. This review highlights the substantial progress, which has been made in the last decade to shift the paradigm in free radical chemistry from conventional solvents to ionic liquids, microwaves, supercritical CO2 and fluorous solvents. This review focused on recent advances in several classes of widely useful free radical reactions in alternative media leading to the formation of C-C and C-H bonds. The review will also explore the recent advances in performing stereo-selective free radical reactions in an unconventional media. Stereospecific aspects and mechanistic details of the transformations will be addressed.
