Abstract

An in-water, on-water domino process has been engineered as a green strategy for chemical synthesis. The process is driven by the different aqueous solubility of organic reactants and products, which are shuttled between the two phases of an emulsion. During this process, water serves as a reaction medium, a product partitioner and a reaction catalyst.
