Synthesis of Environmentally Benign Species

5 Oxygen + Methyl Formamide a-NaphthoI = Carbaryl -j- Water which yields an economic potential of 39.99 million per year, and 

Methyl Amine -f- a-Naphthol Chloroformate = Carbaryl -I- Hydrogen Chloride. 

In many cases, it is possible to replace vironmentally hazardous chemicals with more l nign species without comprcHnising the techaical and economic performance of the process. Examples include alternative sdlvents, polymers, and r g-erants. Grcnip contribution methods have been commonly us in predicting physical and chemical H operties of synthesized materials. Two main frameworks have
