Another aspect not often accounted for when trying to establish what is green is the life cycle of a solvent. Each kilogram of solvent that is not recycled or reused must be replaced. The process by which solvents are manufactured also generates waste and greenhouse gas emissions and these add to the cumulative annual waste generation worldwide. A simple depiction of the life cycle of a solvent can be seen in Figure 3.1 as presented by Clark and Tavener [8].

As you have been reminded of these definitions, you have also seen several important concepts related to chemical selectivity that will inform any discussion and debate around what is green. We can readily see, for example, that when working with chiral molecules we not only have to worry about reacting with a particular type of bond or functional group, but we also have to do it in such a way that only the bond of interest forms that preserves or creates the desired isomer. As any synthetic organic chemist knows, there remains a considerable amount of chiral chemistry that suffers from a lack of selectivity (stereo-, regio-, and enantioselectivity) and in many cases more than 50% of the starting material ends up as waste. 

What Is Green Chemistry Introduces the fundamental tenets of green chemistry and discusses how these principles can used in the college chemistry curriculum.
