Lecture 17 – Working without Solvents
In this class students will learn the possibilities to perform chemical transformations without the presence of an organic solvent. Students will explore alternative methodologies ranging from supercritical fluids to solventless conditions. The goal of this lecture is to not only inform student of alternative methodologies, but to provide real example of how these approaches are used today.
