The most important aspect of Green Chemistry is the concept of design. Design is a statement of human intention and one cannot do design by accident. It includes novelty, planning and systematic conception. The Twelve Principles of Green Chemistry are “design rules” to help chemists achieve the intentional goal of sustainability. Green Chemistry is...
1. Green Chemistry designs across all stages of the chemical life-cycle. 2. Green Chemistry seeks to design the inherent nature of the chemical products and processes to reduce their intrinsic hazard. 3. Green Chemistry works as a cohesive system of principles or design criteria. The Twelve Principles of Green Chemistry are design criteria or guide...
1 Waste
In 1992, the concept of what is now widely accepted as the E-Factor, or Environmental Impact Factor, was introduced by Roger Sheldon.13This metric helps to quantify the amount of waste generated per kilogram of product. It is a means to assess the “environmental acceptability” of a manufacturing process. The environmental factor which has been adopted by many in the chemical industry underscores how inefficient certain industrial processes have been and opened the door to creative solutions....
2 Atom economy
To illustrate this concept, a few examples such as the Grignard reaction, A3 coupling and the Diels–Alder reaction are presented below. The Grignard reaction, which received the recognition of the scientific community for its importance in organic synthesis, is unfortunately a relatively poor atom-economical reaction due to the use of a stoichiometric amount of metal reactant and the necessity to prepare the Grignard reagent separately.18Fig. 4 presents a typical Grignard reaction19 and an ap...
3 Synthesis
C–H activation is another relatively new area of chemistry which holds great promise for the future.26 In traditional coupling reactions, activated carbon–halogen bonds are usually used because of their high reactivity. Since halogenated molecules are rarely natural, it implies additional steps to produce the precursor. The replacement of traditional coupling reactions with C–H activationeliminates the need for halogenated precursors and therefore the halogenated waste byproduct generated. Tw...
As a first example, a greener synthetic pathway which was attributed to Eastman for its enzymatic esterifications.85 This biocatalytic process runs under mild conditions, minimizes the formation of byproducts and saves energy, resulting in increased efficiency. Overall hundreds of litres of organic solventswere eliminated from the previous process....

May 25, 2000 · This book aims to introduce the reader to the design, development, and evaluation processes of new Green Chemistry methodologies. A comprehensive introductory text, it takes a broad view of the subject and integrates a wide variety of topics. Topics covered include: alternative feedstocks, environmentally benign synthetic methodologies ...
Jul 13, 2022 · Chemicals can conjure images of doom and gloom. But Paul Anastas, a green chemist and professor at Yale University, is transforming chemistry’s image to one of health and sustainability. “Chemistry is all about how you redesign the material basis of our society and our economy,” Anastas says.

Dec 3, 2019 · In 1998, Paul Anastas and John C. Warner published a seminal book, Green Chemistry: Theory and Practice, which established the 12 Principles of Green Chemistry as the foundation for this dramatic shift in the way we do chemistry. 1 The 12 Principles fall into three general categories: (1) use and produce no toxic chemicals, (2) minimize the use ...
