Sustainability and Green Chemistry

There is a general concern in developing new chemistry that can eventually be sustainable and benign for the environment [82, 83]. Most of the current chemical industry is based on the use of oil and natural gas as feedstock and this situation 

The vast majority of organic oxidations at the laboratory level or in the fine chemical industry also produce a large amount of wastes. Perusal of the current

Green chemistry is one of the major current trends in chemistry research and industrial practice. However, green chemistry is not very old and only emerged in the last twentyyears from the initial ideas of Anastas and Warner towards a prominent field of scientific research and development. Today, in many university chemistry departments worldwide ideas of sustainability and green chemistry have become part of the education of the new generation... 

In carbohydrate synthesis, multistep procedures involving protection/ deprotection sequences are usually employed, because of the lack of a direct method for site-selective manipulation of one specific hydroiq l group out of the multiple hydroiqrl groups in carbohydrates. If such site-selective transformation becomes feasible and available as a practical process, it will be a great advance in sustainable and green chemistry because it enables a reduction in the number of synthetic steps. Recently, chiral DMAP- and PPY-derivatives have been developed for site-selective acylation of carbohydrates. ...

Fundamentals of Environmental and Toxicological Chemistry Sustainable Science, Fourth Edition covers university-level environmental chemistry, with toxicological chemistry integrated throughout the book. This new edition of a bestseller provides an updated text with an increased emphasis on sustainability and green chemistry. It is organized based on the five spheres of Earth s environment (1) the hydrosphere (water), (2) the atmosphere (air), (3) the geosphere (solid Earth), (4) the biosphere (life), and (5) the anthrosphere (the part of the environment made and used by humans).
