Environmentally benign chemistiy

The symposium upon which this book is based was organized Joseph J. Breen and Allan Ford under the auspices of the Division of Environmental Chemistiy, Inc. This book is composed primarily of topics that were presented at sessions of the symposium that were chaired by the editors of this volume. In addition, presentations from another session of the same symposiiun that focused on environmentally benign chemistry research in the international arena, chaired Steven Hassur, have also been included. 

Moving forward, it will be important to develop more environmentally benign solvents (beyond common polar aprotic solvents) for C-H bond functionalization chemistiy.
