Solvent Selection in Transfer Hydrogenation and Suzuki Cross-coupling

Solvent selection plays a key role in facilitating sustainable chemical processes. The use of green solvents, which facilitate both substrate and catalyst dissolution, increase reaction activity and selectivity, and enable easy separation of the product and recycling of the catalyst, is desirable. But the question of which green solvent to use must consider solvent production processes and whether the solvent can be recycled and re-used. In this...
