Substitue 'Special Characters' in VI

Hi All,

I am using LATEX and need to delete all the lines in a file matching:
\begin{work}

I know there are several ways to do this, but I am trying to do it with the substitute command in VI. The problem is I can't get substitute to recognize the character '\'!

How do I do it?

Currently I am trying
Code:
:%s/\([\begin{work}]\)/ /g
Thanks in advance, cheers.
