  3. Abstract:
  4. In recent years, polyethylene glycol (PEG) has attracted special attention as a green and inexpensive solvent in various chemical transformations. The current critical review deals with breakthrough achievements for the applications of PEG as an alternative reaction media well-known coupling reactions such as Suzuki, Heck, Stille, Sonogashira, Hiyama and some challenging organic reactions for carbon-carbon bond formation
