Green Tycoon: A Mobile Application Game to Introduce Biorefining Principles in Green Chemistry

Application of the principles of green chemistry in analytical chemistry*

The introduction of the dimension of green chemistry into the assessment of analytical methods should be a natural development trend in chemistry and should coincide with its general policy. Some of the principles of green chemistry—such as prevention of waste generation; safer solvents and auxiliaries; design for energy efficiency; safer chemistry to minimize the potential of chemical accident...

Green Chemistry: Terminology and Principles

Application of Green Chemistry in the Synthesis of Thiopyran Derivatives

An efficient synthesis of 2H-thiopyran derivatives via three-component reaction of alkyl propiolate, benzoyl isothiocyanate or its derivatives and alkyl bromides in the presence of triphenylphosphine in water at 80o C without using any catalyst in water is described. The method offers several advantages including high yields of products and an easy work-up procedure.

Green Chemistry Metrics with Special Reference to Green Analytical Chemistry.

The concept of green chemistry is widely recognized in chemical laboratories. To properly measure an environmental impact of chemical processes, dedicated assessment tools are required. This paper summarizes the current state of knowledge in the field of development of green chemistry and green analytical chemistry metrics. The diverse methods used for evaluation of the greenness of organic syn...

Green chemistry.

Gilbert's chemistry sets, those that many of today's practicing chemists received as children, proved to be the spark that ignited many a lifelong exploration of the wonders of chemistry. While DuPont was espousing its contributions to the world with its motto, "Better living through chemistry," children were using the popular Gilbert's chemistry sets to perform the simplest experiments and vie...
