The term fluorous was introduced, as the analogue of the term aqueous, to emphasize the fact that a chemical transformation is primarily controlled by a reagent or a catalyst designed to dissolve preferentially in the fluorous phase..
The strikingly similar appearance of the oil-vinegar and the methanol-perfluoromethylcyclohexane biphasic systems is obvious, though the visualization and use of
fluorous systems required the synthesis of a fluorous soluble dye, such as a perfluoroalkylated iron phathalocyanine, or reagents or catalysts.
