This document summarizes an ultrasound assisted reaction presentation. It discusses how ultrasound differs from conventional energy sources and how it can be used in organic synthesis and green and pharmaceutical chemistry. It describes how sonochemistry works through cavitation, where bubbles form and violently collapse, generating high pressures and temperatures. This can enhance chemical reactivity in homogeneous liquid, heterogeneous solid/liquid, and heterogeneous liquid/liquid phase reactions. Examples of synthetic applications where ultrasound switching altered reaction pathways are provided. The conclusion discusses how bubble collapse concentrates energy that can be used to heat bubble contents and enhance reactivity.
