From Principles to Practice: Recent Developments in Greener and Sustainable Organic Synthesis
Main Article Content
Abstract
Green chemistry addresses synthesis processes in accordance with its traditional 12 principles, which help to make chemical processes more sustainable, save energy, reduce the toxic effects of reagents and end-products, lessen harm to humans and the environment, lower the risk of global warming and use renewable resources and waste from agriculture more wisely. Current developments in the environmentally friendly synthesis and production of inorganic, organic and coordination materials, compounds, nanomaterials, hybrids and nanocomposites are examined. Both widely used chemical compounds and whole novel materials have been synthesized using more environmentally friendly methods. This review includes a comprehensive discussion of the latest advances in the more environmentally friendly synthesis of inorganic, organic and coordination chemicals, materials, nanomaterials, hybrids and nanocomposites using green solvents like water and ionic liquids.
