Green Chemistry and Catalysis

In 1992, BASF opened a 35 000 tons per year ibuprofen production plant in Bishop, Texas. This plant was the result of the elegant green chemistry route developed by the BHC consortium. The clean synthesis of ibuprofen is an excellent example of how combining catalysis and green chemistry can yield both commercial success and environmental benefits. Ibuprofen is a nonsteroidal, anti-inflammatory painkiller. It is a popular over-the-counter drug against headache, toothache, and muscular pains. You may know it better as Advil , Motrin , or Nurofen. [Pg.22]
