Chemists are now moving away from volatile, environmentally harmful, and biologically incompatible organic solvents. With its low cost, ready availability, and capacity to remove environmentally unfriendly by-products, water is an obvious replacement. This book describes carbon-hydrogen bond formations in aqueous media via radical reactions with a specific focus on HAT (Hydrogen Atom Transfer). It combines extensive knowledge of free radical chemistry with the latest innovations and creative applications. Divided into five main areas, it covers: generation of carbon centered free radicals; radical initiators; solubility of substrate; suitability of free radical hydrogen donors, and HAT reactions in aqueous media.

Radical Reactions in Aqueous Media provides a step-wise introduction, taking students from the basic principles of radical reactions through to their applications in industry and their role in biological and environmental processes."--Jacket.

This practical, concise guide showcases the sustainable methods offered by green free radical chemistry and summarizes the fundamental science involved.
