DESCRIPTION:Prof. C. S. P. McErlean\nSchool of Chemistry\, The University 
 of Sydney\, Australia\nOf all the solvents used in organic synthesis\, wat
 er is uniquely advantageous. It is environmentally benign\, non-flammable\
 , liquid over a wide temperature range and possesses a high heat capacity 
 which makes it inherently safe. Water also possesses the remarkable abilit
 y to catalyse chemical transformations between some insoluble organic reac
 tants\, a phenomenon known as “on-water catalysis”.1\,2 This seminar w
 ill detail some of our recent studies to uncover the mechanism responsible
  for this unique form of catalysis. This knowledge allows us to develop on
 -water catalysed processes for the synthesis of medicinally relevant archi
