Green Chemistry is written especially to meet the requirements of undergraduate and postgraduate students in chemistry. Green chemistry deals with environmentally benign chemical synthesis. Basic principles of green chemistry and how to plan a green synthesis have been discussed. Organic synthesis using benign green solvents like water, supercritical carbon dioxide ionic liquids, polyethylene glycol and ferrous solvents. Organic synthesis using phase transfer catalysts and ultra sound have also been incorporated. The use of green catalysts including biocatalysts and polymer supported reagents and solid state organic synthesis have been discussed.The book will be at immense use to students and researchers at all levels and also to chemists working in chemical industries.Table of Contentso Prefaceo Introduction - Introductiono Organic Synthesis in Benign Green Solvents - Organic Synthesis in Watero Organic Synthesis in Supercritical Carbon Dioxideo Organic Synthesis using Ionic Liquidso Organic Synthesis using Polyethylene Glycol and its Solutionso Organic Synthesis using Fluorous Solventso Organic Synthesis in Solid State - Organic Synthesis in Solid Stateo Use of Alternate Energy Processes in Chemical Synthesiso Microwave Assisted Organic Synthesiso Ultrasound Assisted Organic Synthesiso Photo Induced Organic Synthesiso Organic Synthesis using Green Reagents - Organic Synthesis using Green Reagentso Organic Synthesis using Green Catalysts - Organic Synthesis using Phase Transfer Catalystso Organic Synthesis using Crown-etherso Organic Synthesis using Biocatalystso Organic Synthesis using Polymer Supported Catalystso Some Examples of Green Synthesis using Basic Principles of Green Chemistry - Some Examples of Synthesis Involving Basic Principles of Green Chemistryo Index.
