Thioethers, amines, and ethers represent the key compounds finding application throughout life and material sciences. In this vein, transition metal-catalyzed Csp2-S, Csp2-N, and Csp2-O cross-couplings provide an influential synthetic tool and serve as an imperative toolbox for the edifice of above privileged compounds from laboratory to industrial scale. These reactions are significantly discovered in organic and halogenated solvents, thereby posing health and environmental hazards. Lately, efforts are thus being made toward the utilization of more sustainable solvents for the above purpose. Contextually, the use of water has witnessed noteworthy attention over the past couple of decades, thereby allowing for substantial chemical waste reduction. This review summarizes the recent advances (2008-July 2025) in transition metal-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions for the synthesis of thioethers, amines, and ethers via Csp2-S, Csp2-N, and Csp2-O bond formation in aqueous media. The discussed transformations are organized according to the nucleophilic coupling partners, sulfur, nitrogen, and oxygen, reacting with aryl halides and related electrophiles.

Like alkenes, alkynes can be reduced to alkanes in the presence of transition metal catalysts such as Pt, Pd, or Ni. The reaction involves two sequential syn additions of hydrogen via a cis-alkene intermediate.

The acid-catalyzed addition of water to the double bond of alkenes is a large-scale industrial method used to synthesize low-molecular-weight alcohols. An acidic atmosphere is required to allow the hydrogen in the water molecule to act as an electrophile and attack the double bond in an alkene. The addition of a proton to the double bond creates a carbocation intermediate. The proton preferentially bonds to the less substituted end of the double bond to create a more stable carbocation...
