Abstract

New methodologies are discussed that allow for several commonly used transition-metal-catalyzed coupling reactions to be conducted within aqueous micellar nanoparticles at ambient temperatures.

Keywords: PTS; TPGS-750-M; cross-couplings; designer surfactants; green chemistry; micellar catalysis.
