Green Chemistry

GREEN CHEMISTRY: A Textbook is written especially in meettherequirements and undergraduate and postgraduate studentsinchemistry if various universities / Colleges. Green chemistrydealswith environmentally benign chemical synthesis. Basicprinciples ofgreen chemistry and how to plan a green synthesis havebeendiscussed. Organic synthesis using benign green solventslikewater, supercritical carbon dioxide ionic Liquids,polyethyleneglycol and ferrous solvents. Organic synthesis usingphase transtercatalysts and ultra sound have also beenincorporated. The use ofgreen catalysts including biocatalysts andpolymer supportedreagents and solid state organic synthesis havebeen discussed. Thebook will be at immense use to students andresearchers at alllevels and also to chemists working in chemicalindustries.
