title: Organic synthesis "on water" vs "on liquids": a comparative analysis.
abstract: Several organic reactions that are accelerated under the "on water" conditions proceed equally well or better on other "nonsolvents" or in neat conditions. Alternatively, only 1 equiv of water was necessary to obtain the same acceleration effect testifying to the fact that the water-organic compounds boundary might be unnecessary to achieve the "on water"-like reactivity.
