The rapid evolution in organic synthesis in recent years has seen dramatic changes in chemical sciences. One need only mention a few terms to understand that chemical systems that did not exist twenty years ago have become as much a part of the repertoire of the synthetic organic chemist such as the use of advanced microwave technology, photocatalytic synthesis, flow chemistry, used of advanced nanomaterials in organic synthesis and new innovative greener technology (catalysts-free processes) to design corresponding entity in a benign way. Last few years, there are various green solvents introduced in several organic methodologies such as polyethylene glycol (PEG), glycerol, ionic liquid, supercritical carbon dioxide (scCO2 ) and water etc. It is well-known that water is the most benign solvent used for the organic synthesis and is a prime choice for organic chemists. The chemistry of water is relatively old tremendous organic methodology that was investigated in last 20 years. The aim of this editorial is to provide a brief overview of the most promising, alternative reaction methodologies that can be employed in organic synthesis with the drive of safer, more sustainable as well as low environmental impact processes, which are crucial to application of improved efficiencies for organic synthesis in industry. This editorial highlights the some selective catalyst-free reactions in aqueous media (in-water and onwater).
