Developing the green organic program at the University of Oregon, Kenneth Doxsee and James Hutchison saw the urgent need and rapidly growing demand for green chemistry laboratory materials. This lab text describes the tools and strategies of green chemistry, and the lab experiments that allow investigation of organic chemistry concepts and techniques in a greener laboratory setting. 

GREEN ORGANIC CHEMISTRY: STRATEGIES, TOOLS AND LABORATORY EXPERIMENTS was developed and successfully tested as a direct replacement of the traditional organic chemistry laboratory curriculum. Thus, the conceptual themes and experimental techniques important to the modern practice of organic chemistry can be taught in the context of more environmentally-benign laboratory experiments. Students acquire the tools to assess the health and environmental impacts of chemical processes and the strategies to improve develop new processes that are less harmful to human health and the environment. The curriculum introduces a number of state-of-the-art experiments and reduces reliance on expensive environmental controls, such as fume hoods.

**Features**

- The text includes nineteen extensively student-tested laboratory experiments that teach fundamental organic chemistry concepts and lab skills in a more environmentally-friendly (greener) fashion.
- Concrete comparisons between traditional approaches and greener approaches provide students with experience identifying health and environmental hazards and developing alternative, greener procedures.
- The text features ten comprehensive introductory chapters describing the strategies and tools used in practicing greener chemistry. These chapters provide a context for the laboratory experiments and introduce the key concepts and strategies to students and instructors alike.
- The authors teach practical skills such as hazard identification and minimization, and economic analysis in addition to fundamental concepts.
- Experimental procedures were not written with reference to any particular text thus allowing use with any organic chemistry laboratory techniques text.
- Green chemical methods achieve hazard reduction at all reaction scales, permitting the introduction of larger-scale experimentation, using standard laboratory glassware, while reducing reliance on fume hoods.
- This laboratory manual provides a unique context for more detailed discussions of chemical hazards and the effects of chemicals on human health and the environment.
- The use of a set of green chemistry principles throughout the text is emphasized and includes: the minimization or elimination of hazardous solvents whenever possible, the identification and use the most benign reagents possible, and the development and use efficient reaction chemistry.
- Procedures are provided that are readily employed using either miniscale or microscale glassware.
