Green Chemistry: An Approach Promoting Environment-friendly Chemistry, Status Challenges and Future Perspective | Chapter 4 | Exploration of Knowledge and Information in Sciences

“Green Chemistry”, “Green Engineering” and “sustainability” are commonly used to explain the concept of making processes and their subsequent products that have a very mild environmental impact. The chemistry of all matters that exist around us has an enormous impact on our social and technological changes. However, there is a lack of understanding of how these matters make a change in the ecological system on our planet. While starting from eco-friendly chemical synthesis to green catalysts, it finds a marvellous correlation with the environment. One of the best examples of chemical synthesis is to adopt a hazardous solvent-free reaction to make the desired product for human use. The researchers are interested in this field considering the present scenario. On the other hand, Green Engineering is to design, commercialize and adopt the processes to minimize the generation of pollution at source leading to a very low risk to human beings, creatures and overall, the environment around us. The role of Green Engineering is to develop a route/pathway that appropriately evaluates the environmental parameters that must be controlled for the better life of all living things. Chemical synthesis that is safe for the environment is known as "green chemistry." The scheme for the synthesis is planned in such a way that there is minimum environmental pollution. At present, the chemical industry is the primary source of environmental pollution. Additionally, disposing of the waste products comes at a huge cost. As a result, efforts have been made to design synthesis for manufacturing processes with as few waste products as possible that can be conveniently disposed of and have no negative environmental effects. The starting materials, solvents, and catalysts must all be carefully selected in order to perform reactions. For instance, since benzene is naturally carcinogenic, it must be avoided at all costs when used as a solvent. Reactions should ideally be conducted in the aqueous phase if at all feasible. In light of this perspective, synthetic processes ought to be created so that the majority of the starting materials are used in the final product. Moreover, there should not be any hazardous byproducts from the reaction. This chapter highlights the numerous aspects of green chemistry, from its foundational ideas to its practical applications, with the goal of promoting an environmentally sustainable future.

Eco-Friendly Approaches to Chemical Synthesis | Chapter 2 | Recent Developments in Science and Technology for Sustainable Future

 Green Chemistry entails revolutionary advancements in compound exploration and production, aimed at reducing or eliminating the use and generation of hazardous substances in the manufacturing, design, and applications of chemicals. The rapid evolution of Green Chemistry is propelled by the realization that environment friendly products and methodologies are not only ecologically responsible but also economically viable in the long run. In the development of new components, yields, or processes, researchers and engineers adhere to a framework that diverges from conventional manufacturing practices, prioritizing considerations of environmental impact, economic feasibility, and societal well-being. This adherence is guided by the twelve principles of Green Chemistry, which comprehensively address the interplay of environmental, economic, and public factors. This chapter provides a concise overview of Green Chemistry in synthetic methods, delving into various techniques such as mechanochemistry (grinding), photochemical processes, ultrasound or sonochemical methods, microwave irradiation, and solvent-free conventional thermal heating. Each of these methods exemplifies the commitment to sustainable and environmentally benign practices in chemical synthesis.

Sustainable and Green Convergent Electro-Organic Synthesis of Substituted Benzyl Alcohol Derivatives in Biphasic Electrolysis | Chapter 12 | Progress in Chemical Science Research Vol. 7

 The growth of synthetically main free radical precursor from persulfate catalyst is an entertaining and wide-reaching urgent task. Persulfate mediated electro catalyzed oxidation of differing substituted benzyl alcohols in presence of water and dichloromethane gives functionalized scented benzaldehyde. In terms of green strength concern, electrochemical C-H activation has been acknowledged to be an adept strategy for the conversion of alcohols in appearance of H2S2O8/H2O system to give the scalable products accompanying high regioselectivity and in good to superior yields. The present work utilizes catalytic quantities completely scenarios and the selectivity is powerfully governed for one applied potential in a simple cup type electrolysis cell. In-situ create water soluble per sulfate radical in-between was well developed and a reasonable method was proposed exhaustive. Furthermore, the conversion of aryl alcohols to corresponding aldehydes was habitual by HPLC, 1H NMR and 13C NMR. This methodology facilitates work-up, atom economy and avoids the establishment of waste products.
