3. Switchable Polarity Solvents: Are They Green?
-
Heinz Plaumann
Abstract
Solvents play an incredibly important role in large scale chemical reactions. Switchable polarity solvents may prove to be a class of solvent that offers energy and material efficiencies greater than existing solvents. This paper examines such solvents and their potential in a variety of chemical reactions.
