The case is made for transitioning organic chemistry from a developed discipline that remains highly dependent upon organic solvents to one that will be sustainable, based on water as the reaction medium. Processes in hand that today achieve the same bond constructions characteristic of traditional organic synthesis, but can be accomplished under environmentally responsible conditions, are discussed as representative of the potential that lies ahead.
