Just as bio-catalysis, throughout time or via directed evolution, is done in water, doing synthetic chemistry in water just makes sense. Join Bruce Lipshutz of UC Santa Barbara as he demonstrates how chemistry in water is our only path to sustainability using chemical, economic, and environmental reasons.

Over the past 50 years, crop protection has evolved from using pesticides in high use rate to applying safer, selective, and more efficacious products, which share many of the features of modern drugs. Resistance development and environmental concerns are key drivers in the search for new, improved agrochemicals, which are currently discovered and optimized following a complex and demanding path similar to that followed in drug discovery.
