Abstract
, the role of the amphiphile as a ligand obviating phosphine ligands in catalysis, the shielding effect of micelles to protect water-sensitive reaction intermediates in catalysis, and the compartmentalization effect. While compiling the powerful impact of micellar catalysis, this article highlights two diverse recent technologies: (i) the design and employment of the surfactant PS-750-M in selective catalysis; (ii) the use of the semisynthetic HPMC polymer to enable ultrafast reactions in water.
