Abstract
Research concerning green solvents is focused on reducing environmental damages due to the use of toxic solvents in organic chemistry. Hence, there have been developed a lot of solvent-free processes as well as more efficient recycling protocols in the last decades. Unfortunately, these approaches have their limitations. Therefore, the authors review different environmentally benign solvent alternatives. This report highlights reactions using water, fluorous solvents, ionic liquids, organic carbonates, supercritical carbon dioxide, as well as biosolvents instead of conventional organic solvents.
Keywords: Green solvents, Solvents, Green chemistry, Alternative solvents, Ionic liquids, Fluorous solvents, Supercritical carbon dioxide, Carbonates.

Catalytic C-H bond activation as a tool for functionalization of heterocycles
The major topic is the functionalization of heterocycles through catalyzed C-H bond activation. The strategies based on C-H activation not only provide straightforward formation of C-C or C-X bonds but, more importantly, allow for the avoidance of pre-functionalization of one or two of the cross-coupling partners. The beneficial impact of ...read more
