| 1 | Green chemistry What is Green Chemistry? Need for Green Chemistry. Goals of Green Chemistry. Limitations/ Obstacles in the pursuit of the goals of Green Chemistry, Principles of Green Chemistry and Designing a Chemical synthesis, Twelve principles of Green Chemistry with their explanations and examples. Principles of Green Chemistry and Designing a Chemical synthesis Twelve principles of Green Chemistry with their explanations and examples and special emphasis on the following: Designing a Green Synthesis using these principles; Prevention of Waste/ byproducts; maximum incorporation of the materials used in the process into the final products , Atom Economy, calculation of atom economy of the rearrangement, addition, substitution and elimination reactions. Prevention/ minimization of hazardous/ toxic products reducing toxicity. (Function) hazard × exposure; waste or pollution prevention hierarchy. Green solvents– water as a solvent for organic reactions, ionic liquids, PEG, solvent less processes, immobilized solvents and how to compare greenness of solvents. |
