Many new methods directed to organic and inorganic syntheses of useful intermediates are being developed to specifically address green and sustainable chemistry principles. Highlighting the importance of green metrics, the Green Syntheses series focuses on how to reliably substantiate and validate the level of "greenness" of chemical processes, providing practical synthetic methodologies and metrics for a rigorous proof of "greenness." The first book of its kind, the editors determine appropriate material efficiency green metrics and use them to compare syntheses provided by the chapter authors with those previously published. Presenting a new concept in green chemistry, this book demonstrates what future publications might look like if green principles are followed and also incorporate the important ethical aspect of supplying rigorous procedures in laboratory practice and evidence of greenness of a given synthesis protocol using metrics analysis. This inaugural volume initiates the much-needed transition from stating the 12 guiding principles on the philosophy of green chemistry to the actualization and verification of it. The book addresses primarily the issue of material efficiency metrics, which measure the amount of waste produced relative to desired product. In each contributed example, full experimental details are given showing all quantities of materials used in the procedure. Authors discuss the green merits of their protocols in conjunction with the results of a thorough metrics analysis, allowing for in-depth discussion of insights about synthesis strategy and performance characteristics of the new and prior cited plans.

With escalating concerns over the current state of our planet, the realization to work toward reducing our environmental footprint is gaining momentum. Scientists have realized that green chemistry is the key to reduce waste, rendering healthy environment, and improving human health. The 12 principles of green chemistry are the basic tenets that require understanding at the most fundamental level and implementation to promoting sustainable synthesis. This book discusses innovations in the form of greener technologies (superior green catalysts, alternate reaction media, and green energy sources) and elaborates their tremendous potential in combating the critical global challenges on the horizon. It intends to empower and educate students to grasp the key concepts of green chemistry, think out of the box and come up with new ideas, and apply the basic concepts in greening the world. It extensively covers the goals of the United Nation's 2030 Agenda of Sustainable Development, which can be successfully achieved with the aid of green chemistry. It also highlights cutting-edge greener technologies such as biomimicry, miniaturization, and continuous flow. Edited by two active green chemists, the book presents in-depth knowledge of this field and is extremely helpful for undergraduate, graduate, and postgraduate readers, as well as academic and industrial researchers.

One of the fundamental principles of green chemistry is to design chemical products that minimize adverse consequences to human health and the environment. While chemists have been designing molecules for 200 years to have a limitless range of commercial applications, there has been little or no attention focused on how to make commercial chemicals while avoiding hazards and toxicity. This book is the first to provide chemists with useful, practical guidance on how to minimize or avoid a wide range of hazards. Building on the insights gained from the pharmaceutical industry over the past 25 years on how to create desirable biological effects, the authors demonstrate how to avoid undesirable biological effects by design.

Aujourd’hui, l’un des principaux enjeux de l’industrie et de l’économie consiste à répondre aux besoins d’une population mondiale croissante tout en préservant l’environnement. En effet, l’utilisation depuis plusieurs décennies des ressources énergétiques fossiles a généré, outre la diminution des réserves de ces ressources, un phénomène de réchauffement climatique dû à la libération dans l’atmosphère de gaz à effet de serre. De plus en plus de secteurs industriels, dont la chimie, s’inscrivent dans une substitution du carbone fossile par le carbone renouvelable ; ainsi se développe la bioéconomie, fondée sur la chimie verte et les biotechnologies, comme levier pour réduire l’empreinte écologique des activités humaines.L’objectif de Chimie verte et industries agroalimentaires est de présenter une utilisation raisonnée des matières premières renouvelables qui exploite la complémentarité entre filières alimentaires et non alimentaires, sans les opposer. Parmi ces matières premières figurent les ressources agricoles et forestières et les déchets issus de leurs transformations et usages.L’ouvrage comporte un ensemble de 21 chapitres articulés autour de 6 parties, chacune correspondant à un concept identifié comme clé de voûte de l’interface chimie verte-IAA : • De la chimie verte aux biotechnologies • Ressources agricoles et coproduits des IAA : sources de polymères, carburants et molécules pour la chimie • Chimie verte et matériaux polymères : vers de nouveaux emballages alimentaires • Vers des systèmes intégrés de bioraffinerie : lien avec le territoire et les autres filières de production • Apport des biotechnologies végétales à l’élaboration de la qualité de la biomasse• Les scénarios pour 2050 : comment concilier les différentes filières.

Interest in green chemistry and clean processes has grown so much in recent years that topics such as fluorous biphasic catalysis, metal organic frameworks, and process intensification, which were barely mentioned in the First Edition, have become major areas of research. In addition, government funding has ramped up the development of fuel cells and biofuels. This reflects the evolving focus from pollution remediation to pollution prevention.Copiously illustrated with more than 800 figures, the Third Edition provides an update from the frontiers of the field. It features supplementary exercises at the end of each chapter relevant to the chemical examples introduced in each chapter. Particular attention is paid to a new concluding chapter on the use of green metrics as an objective tool to demonstrate proof of synthesis plan efficiency and to identify where further improvements can be made through fully worked examples relevant to the chemical industry.
