Abstract

Agro-waste extracts are considered green solvents since they are easy to handle, readily accessible from natural waste feedstock, biodegradable and recyclable. Therefore, the employment of these extracts in reaction media has emerged as the most useful and eco-friendly alternative in modern organic chemistry. Here, we review recent developments for the generation of new carbon–carbon and carbon–heteroatom bonds mediated by agro-waste extracts. We show that these aqueous extracts have great applicability in several transformations, including condensations, oxidations, multicomponent and coupling reactions. The challenges and advantages on the use of water of agro-waste extracts in synthetic methodologies is also detail.
