Green Chemistry: Environmentally Benign Reactions

This book describes a large number of organic reactions under green conditions. Starting from the principles of green chemistry, the book discusses the planning and preparations required to convert to green laboratory techniques. The book covers a wide range of synthesis reactions carried out in aqueous phases using PTC catalysts, sonication, microwave technologies. It also examines reactions using ionic liquids as solvents as well as solid state (solventless), enzymatic, and photochemical reactions. Written for students as well as practicing chemists at various levels in industry, R&D, and academic laboratories, it integrates numerous examples of industrial and environmental applications throughout.
