Background: Developing effective methods for the synthesis of bio-compatible and non-toxic nanoparticles is the main goal of nanotechnology. In the most chemical methods, a chemical reducing agent is used to reduce metal ions. But, in chemical methods, the stability of nanoparticles is controversial and synthesis in large sizes is much more difficult. Moreover, there is an incr...

drug discovery are announced on a regular basis, it is rare for an entirely new technology to emerge within the pharmaceutical bulk active and synthesis sector. Such a technology – developed by Codexis, Inc – enables the rapid discovery and development of novel or improved processes for the cost-effective synthesis of chemicals, using breakthrough biocatalysts and fermentation strains. Furtherm...

Recently, the subject of “green chemistry” has received considerable attention from academic and industrial researchers alike.1 While the central tenets of waste reduction, process economy and elimination of risks and hazards have long been embraced by industrial process chemists, the current focus on green chemistry concerns has led to renewed appreciation for the importance of these topics. T...

Assimilating green chemistry principles in nanotechnology is a developing area of nanoscience research nowadays. Thus, there is a growing demand to develop environmentally friendly and sustainable methods for the synthesis of nanoparticles that utilize nontoxic chemicals, environmentally benign solvents, and renewable materials to avoid their adverse effects. A simple, economic, and environment...

Green chemistry does not operate as an isolated subsystem, but within higher levels of corporation and society. From an environmental standpoint, the ideal focus is to achieve optimum performance across the system, not at a single systems level. This paper proposes a four-level system for green chemistry and provides examples of performance at each level that can legitimately be termed sustaina...

Organosulfur compounds are being widely used in medicinal chemistry, as well organic transformations and synthetic applications. Because of their interest many areas, the development sustainable green methods to access various organosulfur has a high influence on chemistry community. Electroorganic synthesis become very valuable methodology for during last decade. The use electrochemical techno...
