Chemists are now moving away from volatile, environmentally harmful, and
biologically incompatible organic solvents. With its low cost, ready
availability, and capacity to remove environmentally unfriendly by-products,
water is an obvious replacement. Recent advances in free radical chemistry in
water have expanded the versatility and flexibility of homolytic
carbon-hydrogen, carbon-carbon, carbon-halogen, carbon-nitrogen bond formations
in aqueous media. This textbook highlights the substantial progress which has
been made in the last decade to "tame" the reactive free radical species in
aqueous phase reactions. It describes carbon-hydrogen bond formations in aqueous
media via radical reactions with a specific focus on HAT (Hydrogen Atom
Transfer). Suitable for students of chemistry, industrial chemists
